Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj intervened on Wednesday and got police protection for the three Indians from Kerala, who were beaten up by a Saudi Arabian employer.
Sushma Swaraj tweeted, “We have approached the police and got them police protection. We will follow this up.”
The three men had been promised jobs in Yemen as electricians. But they were duped by a placement agency and taken Abha in Saudi Arabia instead and forced to work in a brick manufacturing company.
The video created a stir in Kerala prompting Chief Minister Oommen Chandi to approach Indian embassy for help.
