India recalls troops from Thailand
"Our troops, currently in Thailand for Maitree exercises, have been advised to return to India," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
In a significant development, the military rulers in Thailand have detained country's ex-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Friday, media reports said.
The Army had summoned her for talks during which the move was made.
The Army on Thursday overthrew Shinawatra's caretaker government in a coup.
"Thailand's ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra and a number of family members and politicians have been detained, as leaders of the nation's military coup tighten their grip on power. Ms Yingluck and scores of politicians from the deposed government had earlier been ordered to report to the military," BBC reported.
