Dharmveer Yadav, an Indian army soldier, had gone missing following a car accident in Dehradun on November 27 in 2009 and his family pension was started in 2012 after the force presumed him dead.
The accident in Dehradun made him lose his memory. Dharamveer remembers being rescued by locals and nothing else. It was this accident that separated him from his family and a similar one brought them together.
A motorcycle hit Dharmveer when he was wandering on the streets of Haridwar. He received a mild injury to the head which brought his memory back. After regaining his memory, he reached Behror in a bus from Delhi on Monday night using the Rs 500 the motorcyclist had given him after the accident.
His father Kailash Yadav initially did not answer his call to open the door thinking he was either dreaming or there was some drunken man at the door. “After second or third knock, I realised that I was not dreaming and rushed to the door. I went numb after seeing my son who for us was dead. I could not even utter a word. My elder son and his wife also came and brought Dharmveer and me into the room. No one could believe that he had returned,” Kailash, also an ex-serviceman, told PTI.
Alwar district Soldier Welfare Officer R P Yadav said he has informed Dharmveer’s unit about his return. CO of his unit has advised to get his medical check up done after which Dharmveer will be handed over to his unit.
Dharmveer’s wife and two daughters were very happy to see him back.
Sounds totally like a Bollywood or daily soap story, but this is reality.
