A video doing the rounds on the internet, showing an Indian man claiming that he has been held captive in Saudi Arabia and making desperate pleas to return to his homeland, has prompted a response from the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia. In a statement on X, the embassy said: “Embassy has been trying to locate the person. No further action can be taken as the video does not contain any details about the location/province in Saudi Arabia, or contact number or employer details.”

The embassy further appealed to Delhi-based lawyer Kalpana Shrivastav, who shared the video, to get details from the source. “@Lawyer_Kalpana please seek details from the source of the video you have posted,” it said.
