Indian nationals continue to be caught in the turmoil in Libya. An Indian national from Kerala Regi Joseph, working as an infrastructure engineer in a company named AL-Diwan, was abducted in March in Libya.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had on Wednesday sought External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s urgent help to secure release of Regi Joseph.
External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj has assured that all efforts are underway to secure release of Regi Joseph. She tweeted that Regi Joseph, an Indian national from Kerala, was abducted in Libya a few days back and the government is making all efforts to secure his release.

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.
In March 2016, a nurse from Kerala and her infant son were killed in a rocket attack in Libya.
