Indian Tech Mahindra Employee Detained in Qatar for Over Three Months Without Charges

Amit Gupta, held since January 1, 2025, faces allegations of data theft, while his family and Indian authorities push for clarity and resolution.

Amit Gupta, Tech Mahindra's region head for Qatar and Kuwait, has been detained by Qatari authorities since January 1, 2025, with no formal charges disclosed.
Gupta's detention is reportedly linked to a data theft investigation, but his family maintains his innocence and claims he is being falsely accused.
The Indian embassy in Qatar and Tech Mahindra are actively assisting Gupta's family and coordinating with Qatari authorities to address the situation.
Gupta has been allowed limited contact with his family, including weekly 5-minute phone calls and one brief in-person meeting facilitated by the Indian ambassador.
This case follows a 2022 incident involving the detention of eight Indian Navy personnel in Qatar, highlighting ongoing diplomatic and legal challenges for Indian nationals in the region.
