New Delhi: Three Indian youths, who were allegedly physically tortured by their employer in Saudi Arabia, will return to India within a week, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said today.
"We reported this to Saudi Police. We are in touch with Indian workers. They will be back in India within a week," Sushma Swaraj tweeted.
