A man from Jharkhand has been incarcerated in the United Arab Emirates after quitting his job without serving the required notice, prompting his family to seek assistance from the Indian government.
A resident of Jharkhand was sentenced to imprisonment by authorities in the United Arab Emirates after he left his employment without providing the contractual notice period. The UAE's labor and criminal enforcement agencies treated the breach as a serious violation, leading to his detention.
The man's relatives, who remain in India, have approached the Indian embassy in the UAE and appealed to the Ministry of External Affairs for consular support. They contend that the punishment is disproportionate and have requested diplomatic intervention to secure his release or at least ensure humane treatment.
Indian officials have acknowledged the family's plea and indicated that the case is under review. While no official statement has detailed any forthcoming action, the ministry typically assists citizens facing legal difficulties abroad through liaison with local authorities and provision of legal aid where appropriate.
