Hyderabad: Yet another case of an agent cheating a Gulf job aspirant came to light on Sunday. The victim, Syed Sadeq, a resident of Tallabkatta in Old City, had left for Saudi Arabia to work as helper in June 2016. “We paid Rs1 lakh to an agent, Arshad of Attapur and he arranged the visa, promising a monthly salary of 1,200 Saudi riyals,” said Syed Ali, father of Sadeq.
However, after reaching Riyadh, the employer took him to Al Hasa province in eastern Saudi Arabian where he was reportedly asked to look after camels. “His friends met him and told me that he is suffering from psychiatrist problems and needs urged medical attention,” said Mr Ali. The family has requested the External Affairs ministry to help in rescuing Sadeq from his employer.
