Arpit was brought by a flight from Kolkata this morning to be reunited with his family. The celebrations were on right from the airport to their residence in Sriniwaspuri.

The Dewans even cut a cake to mark the occasion in the Sriniwas Puri Police Station in South Delhi, which was specially sent by the office of the Delhi Police Commissioner (South) to celebrate the boy's rescue.

Cheering with happiness Bharti said, "I don't know how the six days had passed. The amount of happiness that I have got now makes me forget those six days. It seems as if I went through a nightmare and it is over and its back to normal, rather it is better now." Today is Bharti's birthday, she further added, "I will never forget this birthday of mine."

Meanwhile, the maid servant Savitri Minz was produced in the Pataila House today by the police. The police will interrogate the Savitri to ascertain the involvement of others in the kidnapping of the child.
