The parents of a woman missing from West Bengal, India, for eight years were reunited with her in early July by amateur radio operators after she was found in Bangladesh. Her parents told local media that she had disappeared from home eight years ago and they were convinced she had died during that time. Local media reports said that the woman, who is now 28, has been determined to have mental challenges.

A report in the Indian Express said that Muhammed Abdul Gani Fitu, S21BD, a ham in Bangladesh, first spotted the woman at a railway station not far from the social services agency he operates. He told the newspaper that when he spoke with her, he was surprised to learn she was from India. He contacted amateurs in West Bengal and provided information about her home village and her parents' names, which she was able to provide.

In West Bengal, Ambarish Nag Biswas, VU2JFA, said he received the woman's photos and other details and asked Sanjib Sarma, a shortwave listener who belongs to the West Bengal Radio Club, to assist by locating her parents. They were tracked down the next day and, following a video call between them and her daughter, arrangements were being made with government authorities for her eventual return after her medical condition could be further assessed and managed.
