Cops reunite 80-year-old woman who lost her way to home with family

Rajkot: An 80-year-old woman suffering from dementia lost the way to her home and came all the way to Rajkot from Gondal. Police reunited Mukta Rathod with her family members on Saturday.
“Rathod was found sitting by the roadside on Thursday. We picked her up in the police control room van. She appeared to be homeless and seemed to have lost her address,” said an official from Rajkot B division police station.
Initially, she said she had come from Ahmedabad and had lost her way. Then she said she had a relative in Gundavadi. “We went to Gundavadi and found Paresh Tank, who is Rathod’s nephew. Tank came to the police station and ascertained the identity of Rathod. He said Rathod lived alone in Yoginagar locality of Gondal,” said the official.
“However, it is not clear that during her journey from Gondal to Rajkot as to how many kilometres she must have walked and whether she was given a lift by any vehicle,” added the official.
