The last hostage of a group of seven employees of an Indian engineering company who were kidnapped by the Taliban in 2018, returned to India on Saturday, The Hindu reported.

The other six employees had been released in batches in the past two years, with Mantu Singh, of Bihar state, the last captive.

The Taliban has insisted on the release of other prisoners held by the Afghan government, which was finally completed this week.
The Hindu reports that Singh returned to New Delhi in an Air India flight on Saturday.
