After 16 years of silence, a WhatsApp message sent by Chennai volunteers found a Jharkhand woman's missing husband and her son, who had been living kilometres away from him, brought him home

A Jharkhand man missing for 16 years was found homeless on the streets of Chennai by a local NGO. Volunteers circulated his photograph through WhatsApp groups, eventually reaching a shopkeeper who recognised him. In a remarkable coincidence, his son was working just kilometres away from where his father had been living on the streets.
