A viral video showing a distressed man from Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj claiming he's held against his will in Saudi Arabia has prompted response from the Indian Embassy. The man, speaking in Bhojpuri with a camel backdrop, alleges someone named Kapil holds his passport and threatens him. "I will die; I need to go to my mother," he pleads, urging viewers to share the video to reach the Prime Minister. The embassy is attempting to locate him but lacks crucial details like location, contact number, or employer information. Officials contacted UP authorities and Delhi lawyer Kalpana Shrivastav, who shared the video garnering 140,000 views, requesting more information at cw.riyadh@mea.gov.in to facilitate rescue efforts.
