Vishwakant Ankit Reddy, in his mid-30s and currently employed with IT
major Infosys, and Pushpendu Ghosh are both safe and now in police
custody, an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said. Details of
Ghosh were not immediately known.
Initially it was believed that Ankit Reddy was the only Indian hostage.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was monitoring the hostage situation throughout.
"The hostage crisis in Sydney is over. Vishwakant Ankit Reddy is safe. He is undergoing some medical check ups and will be back home safe," Swaraj said in her first tweet after the end of the dramatic siege.
Five minutes later, she tweeted, "Another Indian hostage Shri Pushpendu Ghosh is also safe."
