A 23-year-old man from Jharkhand’s Palamu district, Shashi Kumar Paswan, has been jailed in Dubai’s Al Rashidiya for the past four months after allegedly leaving his job without informing his employer and paying an agent to facilitate his return to India. His father, Lalan Paswan, filed an application at Hussainabad police station on Monday, urging the Palamu district administration and the Government of India to intervene and bring his son back.
Shashi, who went to Dubai in 2025 to work for a private company on a contract basis, wanted to return home for his sister’s wedding scheduled for June 26, 2026. He allegedly contacted an agent, gave him money, and was absent from work for seven consecutive days, leading to his imprisonment. His family waited over four months to report the matter, relying on his assurance of early release. The application has been forwarded to higher authorities.
