MBT neta helps rescue youth from Saudi jail

Chanchalguda: After a long-drawn legal battle, a resident of Miryalguda was rescued from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) following active intervention of a MBT leader, who took up the case with Ministry for External Affairs (GOI) and Indian Embassy in Riyadh, KSA.

According to MBT leader Amjedullah Khan, Mohammed Muzafferuddin went Saudi Arabia on an electrician Visa through a travel agency on March 3, 2016. After joining the company, he was asked to work as a salesman-cum-driver, carrying water drums to different shops.

He was also asked to deposit daily collections, which he did for two years. "But when he wanted to return after his completion of two years contract period, a false theft case was foisted on him," explained Khan. During the employment, Muzafferuddin went to perform Umra, but to his shock while he was returning he was arrested by local police on July 24, 2018 and was sent to Jeddah's jail.

Later on, he got to know that his employer filed a false case against him and was demanding 20,000 SAR (Saudi Arabia Riyal), close to Rs 3.5 lakh. "His father Hafiz Ameen Uddin Imam Masjid-e-Arafat Miryalguda contacted me requesting for help in rescuing his son.

A complaint was made with Ministry for External Affairs (GOI) and Indian Embassy in Riyadh, KSA. After a long legal battle with the help of Indian Embassy in Riyadh, he was released and repatriated," Khan added. Both father and son on Wednesday met Amjedullah Khan to express gratitude for his efforts in securing his release.
