90-year-old reunites with family after video of cop feeding him goes viral

Nonagenarian Bhikaji Pansare reunited with his family months after he went missing near Byculla. Pansare was able to be with his family again after a video of him went viral on social media.

The video showed a Solapur cop feeding him food while he sat on the roadside.

The family members tried to find Pansare everywhere but failed. A complaint was also registered at the Byculla police station.

A few days back, Nasruddin Shaikh, a head constable at Solapur city police station found Pansare on the roadside. Shaikh tried to talk to Pansare and fed him food from his own hands. The incident was filmed by a spectator which later went viral on WhatsApp.

However, the video somehow reached Ashok Bhujbal, the head constable at Shivaji Park police station in Mumbai. Bhujbal realised that it was Pansare, his own neighbour, in the video.

Bhujbal showed the video to his family members to confirm his identity.

After the confirmation, Bhujbal contacted the Solapur officer and asked him Pansare's whereabouts, a report by NDTV revealed.

Pansare's family rushed to Solapur and will be reaching back to Mumbai today. The family members also said that they are grateful to the police for reuniting them with Pansare.
