The real-life Bajrangi Bhaijaan said that he has rescued some elderly people who were mentally unstable and transported them back to their homes. There were some people who were separated from their family for more than 20 years, but due to his efforts, they were able to meet their families.

Many have reached other cities by boarding the train and he has made arrangements for these children to reach their homes. He has also dealt with cases of children being kidnapped.
Rajesh Kumar said, "I faced many challenges while sending a separated member to his family. In many cases, an adult or child is not mentally sound or are specially-abled children, we find it very difficult to get information about them, but we try in different ways to know where he or she is from, what is the name of his parents or relatives."
He also said that the children belonging to backward classes who get separated from their families are mostly found in railway stations. He has appealed to the common people that "if anyone finds such a child, then they should immediately call the helpline number 1098. Take that child to the police station. This small help of people can prove to be a big step in leading that child to his family."
