Helpless Nazia lived there for around four years and was blessed with two daughters Ayesha Rasheed Eid Obaid alias Kanoo Rasheed and Fatima Rasheed Eid Obaid.

As disputes arose between Nazia and Rasheed, he divorced her and sent her back to India forcibly without her daughters. After two years, Nazia’s parents married her to a fruit vendor from Bidar in Karnataka. Now, she has three children and is living in Bidar.

About six months ago, Ayesha (29) and Fatima (26), came to Hyderabad in search of their mother and approached the South Zone DCP V Satyanarayana. They brought an old photograph of Nazia and asked the police to help them trace their mother.

“Two teams headed by Additional DCP K Babu Rao, met Qazis and enquired with several ‘shaadi khanas’ with the available information. They got some clues and two special teams were set up to trace Nazia. After six months of strenuous efforts, Nazia was traced to Bidar,” said South Zone DCP V Satyanarayana.

The DCP said Nazia had vague memories about her daughters from her previous marriage. “All she could remember was that her younger daughter had six fingers. We checked this with Fatima and confirmed it,” he said.

At around 5 pm on Thursday, Ayesha along with her husband and 10-year-old son, and Fatima came to Purani Haveli.

Ayesha and Fatima, who broke out into tears on seeing their mother, said, “We never thought we would meet our mother in lifetime. God fixed the meeting and we are glad that we got to see our mother after 28 long years.”
