Maharashtra woman reunited with family after two and a half years
Social workers used Google Search and ChatGPT to locate the hometown of a woman staying at an ashram in Sindhudurg.
A 45-year-old woman has been reunited with her family in Parbhani district after being separated for two and a half years, according to The Economic Times.
Julekha Mukheed Shaikh had been staying at Sanvita Ashram in Pandur, Sindhudurg, since April 3, 2024, after wandering away from home in a mentally distressed condition.
The woman's admission to the ashram followed an order from a Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Kurla, Mumbai, on April 3, 2024, following requests from Colaba police and a probation officer.
Social workers at the ashram, led by Jeevan Aanand Sanstha trustee Kisan Choure, used digital tools including ChatGPT and Google Search to identify her native place.
The team worked with the Nirbhaya police squad in Parbhani to contact her relatives once her hometown was identified.
Following a phone conversation with her family, Shaikh's husband, Mukheed Shaikh, travelled to the ashram on November 9 to bring her home.
