Just in: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal meets Geeta at his residence.


If you haven't been following the news lately, Geeta is a hearing and speech impaired Indian girl, who was stranded in Pakistan for 14 years.


Geeta, whose story has touched people on both sides of the border, arrived in Delhi on Monday. Pakistan International Airlines flight PK 272 carrying 23-year-old Geeta from Karachi landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport around 10.30 am where she was given a warm welcome.


Dressed in a white-red salwar suit and her head covered with a dupatta, she waved to people awaiting her arrival. She was reportedly just 7 or 8 years old when she was found sitting alone on the Samjhauta Express by the Pakistan Rangers 15 years ago at the Lahore railway station. She was adopted by the Edhi Foundation's Bilquees Edhi and lived with her in Karachi. Bilquis and her grandchildren, Saba and Saad Edhi, are accompanying Geeta.
