Indian boy says he was kept indoors

London: Efforts are being made to piece together the past life of Gurinder Singh, the Indian boy found at a health centre in Southall, London on Tuesday.

British police found the nine-year-old boy who claims to have been kept indoors for several years at a U.K. house by a “white uncle.”

Gurinder Singh, who speaks only Punjabi, cannot name any relatives or friends but told police that he was deserted at the bus stop by a “white uncle.”

It is thought he wandered into the health centre after waiting for hours for his uncle at a nearby bus stop. — PTI
