Meanwhile his father, Maroof Awan kept searching for his son. His pain intensified as he was unable to find any trace of his son. He had kept a newspaper bearing photo of his injured son but his efforts went in vain.

Recently, the sister of Nazakt came across a facebook post stating about a 23-year-old boy who got lost after the 2005 earthquake. The sister of Nazakat fortunately identified his brother and ecstatically told the family about the news.

The parents of Nazakat rushed to Gujarat and recognised that he was their own Nazakat, BBC News reported.

The elated Nazakat’s mother claimed that 21 members of her family lost their lives during the quake that jolted the country.

She vowed: “Blood doesn’t need a sign”
