“Regi Joseph - an Indian national from Kerala was abducted in Libya few days back. We are making all efforts to secure his release,” Swaraj tweeted.
Regi’s wife Shinuja, a nurse at the Tripoli-based TMC Hospital, had earlier sought the Indian embassy’s help in this matter. The couple have three daughters.
