Three Indian nationals who travelled to Iran for a business trip have gone missing shortly after their arrival, prompting the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to seek assistance from Tehran.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed on Friday that the families of the missing individuals lost contact with them soon after they reached Iran.
The ministry has taken up the matter with both the Iranian Embassy in Delhi and the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran.
“MEA and the Embassy of India in Tehran are in regular touch with the Iranian authorities, and have requested for their assistance in locating the missing nationals and ensuring their safety,” Jaiswal stated.
