Iran investigates 'missing' Indian nationals
Published: 5/29/2025

The Iranian Embassy in India is investigating the case of three missing Indian nationals who were allegedly promised lucrative jobs in Australia but went missing in Tehran. Their families claim the men were kidnapped upon arrival and are being held for ransom. Indian authorities are working with Iranian authorities to trace the missing individuals and warn against falling for illegal immigration promises. Many Indians, especially from Punjab, seek job opportunities abroad but are vulnerable to scams by unscrupulous travel agents, endangering their safety and well-being.
