Kannur: Biju Kurian, who went missing in Israel after reaching there with a state agriculture department delegation, has been tracked down.
He will be sent back on today and will reach India on Monday, said Kerala Agriculture Minister P Prasad. He said Biju's brother told him that the Kannur farmer would reach Kozhikode in a Gulf Air flight at 4 am.
Biju went to Israel with a 27-member delegation to study modern farming techniques. However, he went missing from the hotel where the delegates were put up on February 17.
He had informed his family over WhatsApp that he was safe and they need not search for him. He had also stopped responding to calls or texts.
The Kerala government had written to Indian embassy in Israel earlier this month, asking them to cancel his visa.
