- Woman detained after Indian held as captive
POLICE in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, said they have detained a Chinese woman after an Indian man was held captive in a debt dispute.
The suspect, surnamed Wang, a Jiangxi native, is a former employee of an Indian businessman identified as Faisal. She began buying products for him in Yiwu in 2009, , Xinhua News Agency reported yesterday, citing local police.
Faisal fell into arrears in salaries and payment for goods last year and the sum reached 450,000 yuan (US$72,580). Wang and a colleague paid for products to help Faisal weather the difficulty.
Wang repeatedly asked for the money back, but did not get the cash, reported Xinhua.
In March, She learned that Faisal had sent Indian employee Danish Qureshi to Yiwu and asked for his help in getting the money back, again without success.
In May, Wang and her boyfriend took Qureshi to Wang's rented apartment, held him there and called Faisal demanding the arrears before they would release him.
Two days later, after being alerted, Yiwu police found Qureshi unharmed.

They were distributing sales brochures when I asked them to pose for me, they shyly obliged. They were promoting a brand of yoghurt I have yet to sample though. I think it will be nice.
