A history of disturbing cases in Poland
The fresh appeal has brought back focus on earlier cases involving Indian nationals in Poland. In April 2008, Harish Hitange, a 37-year-old employee of an Indian textile firm from Nashik, Maharashtra, was abducted in Warsaw by unidentified men posing as police officers.
The kidnappers, who demanded a ransom of about Rs 11 crore (two million euros), reportedly send severed fingers as proof. The Indian government at the time said the case was being investigated at the highest levels by Polish authorities, with active involvement of the Indian ambassador in Warsaw.
In another tragic case, Jonaki Sinha Plesniak, a 27-year-old Indian woman, was murdered in Krakow in 2008. She had been reported missing on May 16, and her body was found six days later near Wieliczka. Polish police arrested her husband, Maciej Plesniak, who allegedly confessed to the crime. Jonaki’s family, originally from Guwahati and later based in Kolkata, had informed the Indian embassy about her disappearance.
More recently, in 2019, an Indian student, Rakesh Chauhan, was reported missing from Warsaw. Chauhan had been studying Aerospace Engineering in Poland since 2013 and was last seen around August–September 2018. His case remains unresolved.
