Couple reunites amid dumping of homeless people out of Indore

Even though Indore civic body's act of dumping homeless elderly people out of the city has caused widespread outrage, the incident has also led to the reunion of a woman with her husband who had gone missing.

When Pushpa Salvi saw photos and videos on social media of some homeless people who were taken out of the city last Friday, she recognised her husband Anil Salvi (50) among them, sitting on Nipania bypass road on Indore's outskirts.

The man, who is mentally disturbed, left his home here last month. The woman, after being unable to find him, had subsequently lodged a missing person's complaint with police.

Last week, she recognised her husband in the visuals of some homeless people who were dumped out of the city.

"I had filed a missing person's report at Chandan Nagar police station after I did not find him. On January 29, I got a call from someone that my husband was found in Nipania area following which I took a taxi to go there," the woman told reporters here on Tuesday.

–ANI KSirisha, a sub-inspector in Andhra Pradesh’s Kasibugga, won wide praise for her humanity when she took on the responsibility of carrying the body of an unknown homeless person, who was discovered dead in a field, to a funeral home and helping perform the last rites.
