Overview
- A short clip shows a Bhojpuri-speaking man in Saudi Arabia alleging his sponsor named Kapil seized his passport and threatened to kill him, pleading, “Please help me, I will die.”
- The Indian Embassy in Riyadh said it is trying to trace the individual but cannot proceed without verifiable details such as location, contact number or employer information.
- Officials asked the original poster, Delhi lawyer Kalpana Shrivastav, for source details and urged Prayagraj authorities and family members to share information via cw.riyadh@mea.gov.in.
- Saudi Eastern Province Police called the claims baseless, said the man recorded the video to boost social-media views, reported no dispute with his employer, and noted he was summoned with legal measures taken.
- Indian authorities have not confirmed the man’s identity or whereabouts; some media named him as Ankit Bharti, also known as Indrajit, which the embassy has not verified.
