AHMEDABAD: Muzaffar Shaikh, lost in 2002 riots from Gulbarg Society when he was
only two-and-a-half-year-old, was found alive after over six years
and was brought up by a Hindu mom as Vivek. This is perhaps the most heartening
tale among all examples of human composure revealed in connection with this
grim incident.
This boy is the only one of all missing persons found during these seven years,
when at least 31 missing persons will be added to the official list of the dead
at Gulbarg Society.
Salim Shaikh and his wife Jebunnisa continued their search for six years for
their lost son, and ultimately found him in Vivek at Veena Patni's house in
Rakhial. Veena claimed that someone had come to her husband Vikram during
rioting at Meghaninagar and left the little kid with him. Vikram brought the
boy home, and he not only adjusted in this family, but also became a darling of
other siblings.
Not having courage to claim the boy's custody from Patnis, this Muslim couple
took the Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team's help to get their
son back.
DNA tests confirmed that Vivek was the lost Muzaffar. The couple approached a
lower court last year to obtain custody of the child, but the kid was not ready
to leave his Hindu mom. Courtroom drama compelled magistrate to conclude that
the boy should not forcibly be taken away from the woman who has looked after
him for so many years.
However, biological parents got an opportunity to meet the boy when Jebunnisa
moved high court, as judge helped the two families to reach to a compromise.
From last November, there has been an arrangement wherein the boy spends one
evening with his biological parents at their home in Vatwa, where they have
shifted after Gulbarg was destroyed.
In the last order, court made a provision for biological parents to keep the
boy from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon. However, even after this
sanction, Shaikh religiously takes out his motorcycle every Sunday afternoon
and reaches Veena's house at Rakhial, where they spend some time with the boy.
