Thirteen Indian diamond traders yesterday reached Mumbai following their release from a Chinese prison where they spent about one-and-a-half years.
The traders families and relatives had come at the airport to receive them. The traders said they were elated to be reunited with their families after a long time.
Speaking of their ordeal in China, one of the traders Anand Shah said that they were kept at the detention centre.
The 22 Indian diamond traders were arrested in southern China’s Shenzhen city in 2010.
They were allegedly charged with smuggling diamonds worth 50 million Yuan or 7.3 million US Dollars.
They were accused of sourcing diamonds illegally from Hong Kong for sale in the Chinese market.
Rest nine have been jailed of six years.
