With its timely intervention, India has ensured the release of five Indian nationals abducted by insurgent group Arakan Army in the Rakhine state of Myanmar, a Home Ministry statement said on Tuesday (5 November).
One Indian died in captivity and his body has also been recovered.
A member of Myanmar Parliament and four other Myanmar nationals were also released in the process.
They were released in the early hours on Monday, a day after the five Indian nationals, along with a member of Myanmar Parliament, two local transporters and two speedboat operators were abducted by Arakan Army on way from Paletwa in Chin State to Kyauktaw in Rakhine state in Myanmar.
Unfortunately, one of the Indian national died in custody of Arakan Army due to heart attack as he was a chronic diabetes patient, it said.
"The released Indian nationals, along with the dead body of the deceased, have reached Sittwe and will be leaving for Yangon today for onward journey to India."

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
