A 22-year-old sailor from Kalyan in Maharashtra's Thane district, who was among seven Indians detained by the Houthi rebels in Yemen since January this year, has returned home following his release.
Mohammad Munawwar Sameer, who worked for a Dubai-based shipping company, reached home in Govindwadi area of Kalyan on Thursday, after a nearly four-month-long ordeal.
The seven Indians were among 14 persons released from the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital of Sanaa last Sunday. The sailors, who had worked in the United Arab Emirates-flagged cargo vessel named Rwabee, were held captive for four months by the Houthi rebels, who hijacked the ship on January 2.
