The Om Namo Buddha Tapaswi Sewa Samiti (ONBTSS) has claimed that Ram Bahadur Bomjan, described as “Buddha Boy”, who had gone missing on March 11 from under a peepal tree at Ratanpuri on the banks of the Bakaiya river in Charkose Jhadi in Bara district briefly appeared in a forest, talked to committee members and disappeared again promising to return after six years.
Bomjan was found in a forest at Gopeni, three kilometres southwest from Ratanpuri on Suday.
Chairman of ONBTSS Bed Bahadur Lama said the Buddha Boy was seen walking with seven members of the committee in the forest at Gopeni.
According to Lama, Bomjon vanished after reappearing for half an hour. “He said he would reappear after six years. He has asked monks to perform prayers in the meditation spot,” Lama claimed.
According to reports, the committee members also screened a video which they claimed they had filmed during Bomjan’s brief reappearance.
