For both the couples, it was an emotional reunion with their biological children. For the past five months, they have been nurturing their 'foster' babies — a boy and a girl, who got swapped in a hospital.

On 29 May, the children were born in a Shimla government hospital but got swapped — whether it was intentional is unclear as the case is still under police investigation.

On the same day, after five months, they were reunited with their biological parents after the intervention of the Himachal Pradesh High Court.

"Ahead of Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi (baby girl) has come to our house. It's the biggest Diwali gift for us," said Anjana Thakur.

She said she and her husband Jatinder were, however, disappointed over losing their 'son', whom they had nurtured with care and love for the past five months.
