Mitthu Became An Integral Part Of Family

According to Anil Ojha, Mitthu came to their home about a year ago. Over time, he became very close to every member of the family. He was never kept in a cage. He roamed freely throughout the house and would perch on the arms or shoulders of family members whenever he heard their voices. This is why everyone developed a deep emotional attachment to him.

Mitthu Flew Out Of The Open Window

According to the family, a window in the house was left open and Mitthu flew out. Initially, everyone hoped he would return, but even after a long wait, that did not happen. The family then began searching for him.
