A 47-year-old Indian national has been reported missing from his workplace in Sunaina near Ibri in Oman, his relatives said here today.
Relatives of John Philip, who hails from nearby Manarcadu said they suspected it to be a case of abduction.
"We have informed the matter to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj," they said.
According to his brother Jacob Philip, John had gone missing from the fuel filling station in Sunaina in Ibri, some 217 km from Muscat since Friday night.
