Two decades and a piece of bad news are what it took Haryana's Simarjeet Singh to find his missing younger brother. Gurmeet Singh, 46, was knocked down by a Virar fast local at Mahim railway station while he was standing at the edge of platform number 3, on January 15 around 3.45 pm. Following the incident, the Mumbai Central Government Railway Police (GRP) traced the roots of the deceased person, who, they later found, had been missing from his home in Karnal, Haryana, for the last 20 years.
 
Phone SIM card to the rescue

"We kept his dead body at the mortuary of Nair hospital since no identity card was found on him. The Intex mobile phone with a dual SIM card facility that we recovered was damaged and hence couldn't help us with his identity or family. The BSNL and IDEA SIM cards are all we had,” a police officer said, adding that both the cards were immediately sent to the respective telecom companies.
