At least 150 Indians who had allegedly been taken by the Taliban earlier in the day have reportedly been released and are currently inside the Kabul airport. The Indian citizens are going to be airlifted out of Afghanistan, which was recently taken over by the Taliban after a week-long siege.
The group of Indian nationals is learnt to have been stopped and taken to an unknown location near the Kabul airport on Saturday for questioning and verification of travel documents, triggering some confusion and concerns in India.
