I happen to receive a video uploaded on Whatsapp on 31-08-2017 in which one Lankesh Kumar Mandal from Bihar narrated his pathetic story of his miseries in Saudi Arabia where he went 9 months ago seeking employment for driving Truck Tralla on a monthly salary of 1200 Riyal but was paid 1000 Riyal monthly for first 4 months and nothing was paid thereafter. On demand of the salary, he was paid sometimes 200 Riyal or 400 Riyal and the employer has kept him under surveillance of one person and use to beat him also. The name of the employer is Abdula Khatani having Mobile Number 0505412505. " Lankesh Kumar has also mentioned his address that he is living at No. 3 Utta Nagar below Taptis in Barsa / Basra Dirram Riyad Saudi Arabia. Lankesh Kumar has requested the viewer to forward this video to that extent so that it may reach to Prime Minister Sh. Narender Modi and Smt. Sushma Swaraj Union Foreign Minister. I forwarded this video to Sh. Satish Kumar the Private Secretary of Smt. Sushma Swaraj on 31-08-2017. Sh. Satish Kumar told him that Smt. Sushma Swaraj had been away to Sri Lanka and would convey the same to her when Smt. Sushma Swaraj would come back. On September,01 evening I received a call from Smt. Sushma Swaraj and convey about the video and Smt. Sushma Swaraj assured him to do the needful. The said video is of 2 Minutes and 18 seconds. As Yesterday Evening on 2 nd September 2017 I have again received message in this regard for appropriate action from the Union Ministry of External Affairs .
