"Chahe jitna bhi kahe ki nahi h, mera daawa hai woh (Geeta) meri beti hai. Usko thoda ghabrahat hai. She may say no, but I believe she (Geeta) is my daughter, she is a little frightened. I am claiming this. DNA test will prove the same," says Janardhan Mahato, the man who Geeta identified as her father.


At the MEA press conference today, foreign minister Sushma Swaraj speaking on Geeta's behalf said the girl had denied that the Mahtos were her family. Earlier, Geeta had identified the Mahtos as her long-lost family from photographs sent by the Indian government.


Sushma Swaraj has said that Geeta can stay in India irrespective of the DNA test result. Geeta's DNA samples were taken today and will be matched with the Mahtos.
