Dubai:
Two brothers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are searching for their half-sister, who was born in India 40 years ago, the Khaleej Times reported on Saturday.
Ibrahim Abdulla, who lives in Khorfakkan area in Sharjah, said his father, three years before his death, told them that he had a daughter in India but had failed to find her.
Mr Abdulla also said that his father was worried that he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father.
The brothers intensified their search after reading a news report that a 40-year-old woman was in search of her father, who had died.
Mr Abdulla said that their father told them that he had married an Indian woman during a visit to the country.
Months after his return to the UAE, he learnt from people who knew him and his Indian wife that she had given birth to a girl, who was named Fatima.
He travelled to India several times but could not track down his wife and daughter as they had relocated to another place.
Mr Abdulla said his father's constant worry of not being able to see his daughter ever gave him sleepless nights.
He said his brother Ahmed, who lives in London, and his sisters are keen to find their Indian half-sister.
The two brothers have also visited India several times in search of their sister.
They also contacted the Dubai Police after reading reports about an Indian woman, who came to the UAE after 40 years to search for her father, who had died.
But the woman said that she belonged to another family living in another emirate.
