Jammu, Jul 19: The Indian national allegedly abducted by terrorists in the West African country Niger is a resident of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Ramban district, said his wife on Saturday, requesting the Central government\u2019s intervention for his safe release.
\nSheela Devi said that her husband Ranjeet Singh was working as a senior safety officer at Transrail Lighting Limited, an integrated power transmission and distribution company. She said the family lost contact with him on July 15.
\nAccording to the Indian embassy, two Indians were killed and one abducted following a terrorist attack in southwest Niger.
\n\u201cIn a heinous terror attack on July 15 in Niger\u2019s Dosso region, two Indian nationals tragically lost their lives and one was abducted,\u201d the embassy said in a social media post on Friday.
\nNiger media had reported that unidentified gunmen attacked an Army unit guarding a construction site in Dosso, about 130 kilometres from capital Niamey.
\nSheela Devi said on Saturday, \u201cWe talked on WhatsApp on July 15 and since then, I have not been able to contact him. I called his management and was initially told that there is no network at the work site.\u201d She said she learned about her husband\u2019s abduction the next day through his friend, even as the management maintained that he had fled deep into the forest following the terror attack.
\n\u201cIt has been four days since then. I believe that there is no effort to secure my husband\u2019s release from his captors,\u201d a visibly upset Devi, a mother of three children, said.
\nShe alleged that her repeated attempts to reach out to the company were being met with cold response.
\n\u201cI do not know what kind of situation my husband is in. I do not have any idea about the efforts of the local government,\u201d Devi said, making a fervent appeal to the Government of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs minister S Jaishankar to seek Ranjeet Singh\u2019s release.
\nDevi said she met Ramban Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Alyas Khan, who gave her a positive response.
\n\u201cThe deputy commissioner said he will do everything in his capacity, but I know the main work is that of our external affairs ministry. If they want, my husband will come home safely,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
