Also the kidnappers posted a new picture of him on his Facebook page showing him in critical condition and with visible signs of abuse. On March 4, 2016, Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil was kidnapped in Yemen after the Islamic State group attacked a home run by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity and killed 15 others. The 56-year-old priest was born in Ramapuram, near Pala (Kottayam, Kerala) to a deeply Catholic family.
