The mother fighting to be reunited with her daughter after ruthless kidnapping 04.07.2026

Insiya Hemani, a Dutch citizen, was abducted from her Amsterdam home in September 2016 by a team hired by her father, Shehzad Hemani, in a meticulously planned operation. She has since been living in India with her father, who was convicted in the Netherlands for orchestrating the kidnapping. Insiya's mother, Nadia Rashid, has been engaged in a decade-long legal and diplomatic battle to secure her daughter's return, facing parallel court proceedings in both countries due to India not being a signatory to the Hague Convention. Recent diplomatic efforts by the Dutch government, including dispatching a specialist delegation to India, signal a more aggressive approach to resolve this complex international child abduction case and potentially facilitate a reunion between mother and daughter.
