Amit Gupta has been in Qatari custody for three months without explanation, prompting his parents to appeal to Indian authorities
In a shocking case of alleged wrongful detention, Amit Gupta, an Indian IT professional based in Qatar, has been imprisoned for three months without any formal charges.
His family, desperate for answers, has reached out to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) for intervention, reported m9.news.
Family Left in the Dark, MEA Steps In
Gupta, who moved to Qatar in 2013 after his marriage, was reportedly arrested by local authorities under unclear circumstances.
His family in India claims they received no explanation for his detention. Following their appeal, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has stepped in
Indian Government’s Response
A spokesperson for the MEA confirmed, “Our Embassy in Qatar is aware of the detention of Mr. Amit Gupta in connection with an ongoing investigation. We are closely monitoring the case and providing all possible assistance.”
Concerns Over Gulf Arrests
This incident highlights a recurring issue—several Indians and Pakistanis have faced arrests or even severe punishments in Gulf nations for minor infractions. Experts emphasize the need for diplomatic negotiations and transparent communication between India and Qatar to prevent such occurrences in the future.
