In a similar incident, a family hailing from Shelgaon of Pune recently arranged a grand homecoming for the newborn girl child. The child, named Rajlaxmi, was born on January 22 at her mother’s place in Bhosari and a helicopter was hired to get the infant to her home in Shelgaon in Khed, said the proud father Vishal Zarekar , an advocate by profession. The family reportedly spent Rs 1 lakh for the chopper.

“A girl child has been born in our household after a long time and the joy is immense. So, my wife and I brought Rajlaxmi home in a helicopter on April 2. We went to Jejuri to seek blessings, but as we had no permission to land, we prayed from the sky,” Zarekar told ANI.
