An Indian who went missing in Serbia has been found, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Thursday, holding the agent who sent him there responsible for the hardship caused and recommending “exemplary punishment” for the guilty person.

“Vinay Mahajan has been found and is in safe custody of Serbian authorities.

“Mr. Luther — This is because of the agent who sent him there. This agent deserves exemplary punishment.

@ProtectorGenGOI (sic),” she said in a series of tweets.

Tweet appeal

Ms. Swaraj’s response came after she was approached by a netizen who tweeted, “@SushmaSwaraj please help my brother his life in big trouble...”

Reacting to a separate complaint of nearly 500 Indian workers being deprived of their salary in Bahrain, she tweeted, “Indian Embassy in Bahrain is seized of this matter and will help them.”
