The Indian worker abducted from Herat : The Indian aid worker, who was abducted from Herat in Afghanistan by unidentified gunmen, remained in captivity for the second day on Tuesday (June 3) with local authorities yet to get any conclusive clues in the case. India is in constant touch with the Afghan government and local authorities that have launched a search operation for 47-year-old Prem Kumar, who was abducted yesterday afternoon, according to top official sources. However, no conclusive clues have been found by the local authorities so far, they said. A native of Tamil Nadu, Kumar was working with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), an educational charity, as its Afghanistan Director and has been in the country for over three years. Before moving to Afghanistan, Kumar had worked for the JRS, serving Sri Lankan refugees in Tamil Nadu. Kumar had accompanied teachers on a visit to a JRS-supported school for the returnee refugees in Sohadat village, 25 km from the city of Herat. He was kidnapped from the school as he was about to return to Herat, the JRS said.
