In yet another spin to the IL&FS imbroglio, seven of its Indian employees in Ethiopia are being held hostage by the local staff since November 24 because of non-payment of salaries. Neeraj Raghuvanshi, Nagaraju Bishnu, Sukhvinder Singh Khokher, Khurram Imam, Chaitanya Hari, Bhaskar Reddy and Harish Bandi are the seven employees being held hostage. The Indo-Spanish joint venture is engaged in road projects for the Ethiopian Roads Authority. There are eight other Indian employees as well, who also haven’t been paid their salaries for the past five months, said Hari. Neeraj Raghuvanshi, another employee also held hostage, said in a tweet that IL&FS refused to send funds from India.
