One of the hostages being held by a gunman at a cafe in Sydney is an employee of Indian outsourcing company Infosys.
“We can confirm that one Infosys employee is among the hostages at the Lindt Cafe in Sydney,” a spokeswoman for Infosys said in an emailed statement Monday.
“The family of the employee has been informed and we are extending all possible support to them in this difficult time,” the company said.Advertisement
The Bangalore-based company said it is also in the process of confirming the whereabouts of all its other employees in the city.
“We are in constant touch with the local authorities and Indian consulate in Sydney for updates on the situation on ground,” Infosys said.

The company did not give details about the nationality of the employee being held. A spokeswoman for the company declined to comment.
Earlier Monday, M. Venkaiah Naidu, the minister for urban development, told reporters in Delhi that an Indian information technology professional might be among those held hostage by the gunman.
He said the Indian government was keeping in touch with officials from the Indian consulate in Sydney that was evacuated early Monday.
The consulate is located a just a few blocks away from the Lindt Chocolate Café where the siege is taking place.
The incident began around 9.45 a.m. in Martin Place, in the heart of the Australian city’s business district.
It wasn’t clear if the attack was linked to hard-line Islamist groups which have been the focus of a crackdown by authorities in recent weeks.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione confirmed that an armed attacker was holding an undisclosed number of hostages in a building in the Martin Place area.
