She mentioned that while Hamas recently returned the body of a Thai national who was missing for weeks, there has been no such confirmation regarding Joshi. “It was reported that two foreign nationals were missing, and two weeks ago, Hamas returned the body of a Thai citizen,” she said, “But nothing has been confirmed about Bipin Joshi so far.”


Appealing to the nation for hope, she added, “Let us all pray to God. Our son Bipin is still alive and will return home someday. We are raising the issue continuously.”
