Five men, belonging to Punjab, Haryana and UP, have been stranded in Libya for nearly 9 months. They were promised a job in Italy, but taken to Libya via Dubai by unauthorised travel agents who abandoned the five men there.
17 Indian nationals from Punjab and Haryana, who were being held captive by an armed group in Zwara City in Libya after being trafficked from India, were on Sunday successfully evacuated to India, sources said.
