Sushma to Rescue: Tweets Reassurance For Family of Abducted Indian

Sushma has asked for a regular report of the case filed to ensure speedy rescue for the Indian abducted in Malaysia.

A 46-year-old Indian has been abducted in Malaysia and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has directed the Indian Mission in that country to send her a report about the case so that he can be rescued.

We are taking this abduction very seriously. I have asked Indian High Commissioner in Malaysia to keep me informed on daily basis. https://t.co/htUX6jtbrQ

Her response came after the family of Keshpal Singh, who has been missing in Malaysia for over 20 days, sought her intervention.

Keshpal has been working in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur for the last five years.
