Indian Tech Mahindra Executive Detained in Qatar for Over Three Months

Amit Gupta, detained on January 1 over allegations of data theft, faces limited contact with family as diplomatic and legal efforts continue.

Amit Gupta, Tech Mahindra's country head in Qatar, has been detained since January 1, 2025, reportedly in connection with a data theft investigation.
Gupta's family alleges mistreatment during his detention, including being held without food for 48 hours and limited weekly contact via brief phone calls.
The Indian Embassy in Qatar and Tech Mahindra are actively supporting Gupta's family and coordinating with Qatari authorities to resolve the case.
Gupta's parents traveled to Qatar but were only allowed a brief meeting with him after intervention by the Indian ambassador.
This case highlights broader concerns about the treatment of Indian nationals detained abroad, following a similar high-profile detention of Indian Navy personnel in Qatar in recent years.
