Gujarat couple abducted in Azerbaijan, rescued with MEA's help

A couple from Gujarat was recently rescued from abduction in Azerbaijan, thanks to the swift intervention of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The couple was en route to the United States when they were kidnapped by agents who had falsely promised them safe passage. The incident underscores the risks faced by individuals seeking migration through dubious means, particularly in foreign countries. The MEA acted promptly, coordinating with local authorities to ensure the safe return of the couple. This incident highlights the importance of relying on legitimate channels for international travel and the potential dangers posed by human trafficking networks. The successful rescue operation has been a relief for the families and raises awareness about the vulnerabilities of aspiring migrants. The Indian government continues to emphasize the need for caution and awareness among citizens traveling abroad, especially in regions where such criminal activities are prevalent.
