Chanchalguda: A city-based man who was lured to Riyadh on the promise of a job of interior designer was forced to do all kinds of odd jobs. Harassed during his stay, he was at last rescued, following intervention from MBT leader Amjedullah Khan who took up the matter with the Union Ministry of External Affairs.

As per details, Mohammed Mohsin, a resident of Kishan Bagh, was in search of a job. He was approached by local agent and was offered the job of interior designer at Arabian Art Factory. He went to Riyadh on November 22, 2018 and joined the duty. "He was being asked to do all odd jobs of a helper since he joined the duty. When he objected and said that he came to work as an Interior designer, he was harassed. He was not allowed to return to his home country," informed Amjedullah Khan.

"One of his Philippine's managers was allegedly very rude and was manhandling him daily. He was also being denied salary for several months. Even his Kafeel also failed to help him during his stay. His mother got seriously ill and wanted to see her son. But the Kafeel and his son were not allowing him to go back. His father Mohammed Hafeez approached me and requested to rescue his son," added Khan.

Later, Khan took up the issue with Dr Subramaniam Jaishankar, the Union Minister for External Affairs, and the Indian Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After much persuasion, Mohammed Mohsin was rescued and repatriated. After coming back home he met Amjedullah Khan and expressed gratitude for helping him in returning home safely.
