Punjab man Vijay Kumar finally returned to India after being marooned in a ship off Scotland for more than 16 months, only to be grounded in Delhi by the smog while his family still waits for him in Amritsar

Family responsibilities have finally led to two of the six crew members on board the seized Malaviya 7 near Scotland to return to India. But the poor weather conditions in Delhi stalled the reunion of one of them, Vijay Kumar, 40, with his family after 16 months, due to cancellation of services on Thursday afternoon.
