No ransom was paid for Syed Mazher's release, say sources.
New Delhi: Syed Mazher, the Indian pilot who was abducted by rebels in Congo on July 24, has been released.
Mazher was released without ransom, sources in the External Affairs Ministry tell CNN-IBN.
Congolese rebels took Mazher, who was working as a co-pilot, hostage when they attacked an aircraft on a remote airstrip in a tin mining area of Walikale in the country's North Kivu province.
The plane was looted before it returned to Goma, the capital of the North Kivu, a resource-rich violence-ridden province of the nation.
