New Jersey man trapped in India amid COVID surge returns home

A New Jersey man who was stranded in India after traveling to care for his coronavirus-stricken father has been reunited with his family, his relieved wife told The Post.

Ashu Mahajan, 43, landed 4 a.m. Sunday at Newark Liberty International Airport. His wife, Neha, said she let out a huge “sigh of relief” upon seeing him for the first time since he left the family’s Scotch Plains home on April 17 to care for his 75-year-old father in New Delhi. “Unbelievable,” Neha said of the jolt she got during the reunion. “I had to pinch myself to believe that he was here. With all the uncertainty going around, it’s nothing short of a miracle.”
