Three Indian men, who went missing in Iran, rescued

The three Indian nationals who had gone missing in Iran have been rescued, said the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi on Tuesday.

“Local media in Iran say police have found and released three Indian men who had gone missing in Iran,” the embassy said on X.

The three men from Punjab, who were offered work and thought that they were travelling to Australia in April, had ended up in Iran instead and went missing. Their families had alleged that they were abducted by a network of agents from Pakistan, who demanded a ransom of Rs 18 lakh each.
