The young engineer, hailing from Siwan district in Bihar, last contacted his family on June 19 and mentioned tensions in the region but did not foresee dangers that would follow
A 25-year-old engineer from Bihar, employed in Iran, has gone missing amid the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. The disappearance has raised serious concerns among his family members, who are now urgently appealing to the Indian government for help in securing his safe return.
The young engineer, hailing from Siwan district in Bihar, last contacted his family on June 19, news agency IANS reported. According to his relatives, he mentioned growing tensions in the region but did not foresee the dangers that would follow. Since then, all attempts to reach him have been unsuccessful.
His anxious family has made repeated pleas to the Indian government, specifically asking for the intervention of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). “We haven’t heard from him in days, and we are extremely worried,” his father told IANS. “Please help us bring him home safely.”
The engineer had been working on a project in Tehran for several months when the conflict began to intensify. His relatives are particularly concerned due to the volatile nature of the situation, which has led to widespread unrest and fears for the safety of foreign nationals, particularly in cities near military installations.
Concerns Over Safety Amid Growing Tensions
The escalating Iran-Israel conflict has made the region increasingly perilous for Indian nationals working in Iran. While the embassy in Tehran is actively monitoring the situation, the uncertainty surrounding the conflict has complicated efforts to reach missing citizens.
In addition to diplomatic appeals, local political leaders from Bihar have voiced their support for the family, calling on the central government to act swiftly. Siwan’s Member of Parliament, Sushil Kumar Modi, has promised to raise the issue in Parliament, urging the government to prioritise the safety of Indian workers in the region.
