Three Indian men, who went missing in Iran, rescued Tehran police | World News

Three young men from Punjab, who went missing in Iran in May this year, were found and released Tehran police on Tuesday, the Iran Embassy in New Delhi said in an official statement. The three Indian men were travelling to Australia via Iran for a work opportunity when they went missing, the families had said earlier.
The men have been identified as Amritpal Singh, 23, from Bhagowal Luda in Hoshiarpur; Jaspal Singh, from Langroya in Nawanshehar (Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar); and Husanpreet Singh, 27, from Sanagatpura in Dhuri, Sangrur.
The kidnapping of the men was reported on May 1 when they arrived in Iran. The last time their families heard from them was between May 11 and 17, in which they were seen bloodied and pleading. They were untraceable since then.
Ashok Kumar, the elder brother of Jaspal Singh, had told The Indian Express that the families had collectively paid over Rs 19 lakh to the agents. “Jaspal was first taken to Dubai on April 1 and kept there for a month. Amritpal and Husanpreet also joined him in Dubai on April 25 after paying the full amount. They were then flown to Tehran in early May on separate flights,” he said.
