As many as 67 Indian employees working in a private company in Iran are being repatriated after they wished to come back home.
"Due to intervention of our Embassy in Iran, 67 Indian employees of a company who wished to return are being repatriated after payment of dues," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.
Meanwhile, commenting on a separate case of an Indian being duped in a Gulf country, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the state government concerned should register a case against the recruiting agent.
"In all cases where immigrating workers are cheated/duped we will ask the State Government to register a case against the Recruiting Agent," she tweeted.

Later, responding to a plea on granting Indian citizenship, Swaraj tweeted, "This is not my domain. Citizenship matters are with Ministry of Home affairs."
In the plea, Syeda Yusra Reza, a Pakistani national living in Hyderabad since 1993 on long term visa, sought her help in obtaining Indian citizenship.
Reza wrote that "my father is an Indian national and mother was granted Indian citizenship in 2010".
