Taking to its official ‘X’ handle, the Embassy confirmed the development and said that Tehran police had freed the missing individuals.

“Three missing Indian citizens freed by Tehran police. Local media in Iran say police have found and released three Indian men who had gone missing in Iran,” the Iranian Embassy posted citing local media reports.

It is worth mentioning that the three men, Jaspal Singh, Hushanpreet Singh, and Amritpal Singh, are from Punjab. They went missing soon after arriving in Tehran on May 1.

The men were traveling to Australia after a local travel company promised them well-paying jobs, according to the Iranian news agency Mehr.

They were rescued after a police operation aimed at the kidnappers in Varamin, a city south of Tehran, as reported by Tasnim news.

On May 28, the Indian Embassy issued a statement after the families of the missing men expressed deep concern about their sudden disappearance.

Reports also said that the families received ransom demands of Rs 1 crore from unknown people, with the threatening calls coming from Pakistani phone numbers.

These details caused great concern, leading to quick action and discussions between both countries.
