The Untold Story Of Adarsh Behera’s An Indian Man Kidnapped In Sudan, Shocking Abduction

In a shocking development, 36-year-old Indian national Adarsh Behera has been abducted by Sudan's rebel forces amid the ongoing civil war, sparking urgent diplomatic efforts for his release.

Sudan: A 36-year-old Indian man, identified as Adarsh Behera, has reportedly been abducted by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Al Fashir, amid the ongoing civil war that has devastated the country. Sudan's ambassador to India, Mohammed Abdalla Ali Eltom, said efforts are underway to secure Behera's safe release.

Al Fashir, which recently fell to the RSF after an 18-month siege, was the military's last remaining stronghold in the Darfur region. Sources told PTI that Behera may have been taken to Nyala, another RSF controlled area in South Darfur.

Originally from Jagatsinghpur district in Odisha, Behera had moved to Sudan three years ago to work at the Sukarati Plastic Factory. His wife, speaking to NDTV, said the couple have two young sons, aged eight and three.
