Akash, a 23-year old man hailing from Shivamogga district in Karnataka went missing from a hostel at Motebennur when he was eight years old. Working as a porter at Gandhi Market, Akash was brought up by a family in Hubballi.
From past fifteen years, Raghavendra, owner of a game zone shop took care of him and brought him up like his own brother.
Akash's life took a turn when he met a woman last week, who turned out to be his grandmother. After watching his behaviour and body movements, Akash's grandmother identified him. This incident changed Akash's life and now his parents came to Hubballi to take him back home.
