Despite arriving 42 years late, a 64-year-old Dutch woman is delighted to learn that she'll soon be receiving a postcard from her sister. This card was sent in the summer of 1980 from Hoeven, in the southern province of Brabant.&nbsp;

The card simply said "Greetings," was signed by Veronica, Jan, and Matthijs, and was sent addressed to Ludwina and Piet Verhoeven in Nieuw-Vennep, southern Amsterdam. The Dutch post office then returned it to the location this week, 40 years after it was delivered, with the marking "invalid/incomplete address," despite the card's appealing array of images of the nearby campsite, which included a sign directing campers to the restroom facilities.

In conversation with a local broadcaster, Ludwina Verhoeven said that her sister sent this letter along with her husband and brother-in-law, and both have passed away. She further added that her son saw many news articles about the card's improbable return on social media.&nbsp;

Verhoeven called her sister then, who checked her old photo albums and confirmed taking a vacation to Camping Hoeven in 1980. She further claimed that the mentioned address is correct and she's been living here ever and is unsure why the card reached her now unexpectedly, The Guardian reported.

When asked, the Dutch post office couldn't think of any explanation for this delay. In conversation with NOS, a spokesperson said that the cards occasionally went missing in the past when the mail was physically handed over, or they might have reached a wrong address in 1980 and remained there until this point.&nbsp;

The Camping Hoeven has stated that it will send the card to Verhoeven immediately in its original condition.

Postcard News founder Mahesh Hegde was arrested by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch on Thursday on charges of spreading fake news.

Police Commissioner Suneel Kumar said the arrest was made based upon a complaint filed against one of the stories on his website, which maliciously claimed that a Jain monk was attacked by Muslim youths.

The FIR against Hegde was filed by Gaffar Baig, the General Secretary of Congress' Bengaluru District Committee, on March 18.

Based upon the prima facie evidence, the police booked Hegde under IPC sections 153a (wantonly giving provocation with the intent to cause riot), 34 (common intention) and 120b (for criminal conspiracy), and section 66 (dishonest act) of the Information Technology Act.

“Yes, it is true, he was arrested based on the Jain muni post. The Jain muni was hit by a bike while he was walking on the road. He was not hit by Muslim youth as claimed by Hegde,” said the police official.

Based on a complaint the police have registered an FIR and are investigating the matter.

A social media post, both by Postcard news and founder Hegde stated, "Very sad news, yesterday in Karnataka Jain muni attacked by Muslim youth …. No one is safe in Siddaramaiah’s Karnataka.”

“The Jain muni was hit by a drunk man riding a motorcycle. The Jain muni was on his was to Shravanabelagola for the Mahamatsabhisheka. He had sustained minor injuries on his right shoulder and arm and also on his face. Locals administered first aid and sent them to Shravanabelagola. Upon learning that the Jain Muni was hurt, postcard news published a story alleging that the Jain Muni was attacked by Muslim youth. This was published on social media. Many people have read this story. This was intended to tarnish the reputation of the government and also disrupt communal harmony,” states the FIR.

The FIR against Hegde was filed by Gaffar Baig, the General Secretary of Congress' Bengaluru District Committee, on March 18.
