Police commando, Ganesh Raghunath Dhangade (right), shows a tattoo to his family in Thane district on the outskirts of Mumbai yesterday. Dhangade who got lost as a child at a crowded railway station was reunited with his family after 24 years — thanks to a tattoo on his arm. Dhangade was separated from his parents in 1989 aged just six when they were boarding a train. He ended up on his own in Mumbai, where he was cared for by a fisherman and then at two orphanages.
