A post shared on Ansar's Facebook page claims that he has been trying to reunite a 21-year-old deaf and mute Indian girl Geeta with her parents for over three years. Geeta accidentally strayed into Pakistan from India some 13 years ago. She was eight-years-old back then and was found by the Pakistani police at the Lahore railway station.
Ansar visited India in October 2012 with photographs and video of Geeta. His visit was covered by Indian as well as international media. Ansar also shared a report by an Indian TV channel on his Facebook page which was done in October 2012. Here take a look:
Burney took over the girl's case and decided to reunite her with her family. The only details Geeta could provide (by writing this down in Hindi) were that she had seven brothers and three sisters and that her house was located in fields near a river with a hospital and a hotel nearby.

Those who have seen Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be able to tell that there are glaring similarities between Geeta's case and the script of the movie. In the film however, the mute girl is Pakistani and lost in India with Salman trying to take her back home.
