Sule stated that despite the family making substantial payments in good faith—reportedly demanded for his release—the situation has not improved. “His situation remains critical and his contact with family members has been cut off,” she wrote, adding that the family is undergoing immense mental and emotional stress amid the uncertainty surrounding his welfare.
The Baramati MP urged External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, the Consulate General of India in Dubai, and the Ministry of External Affairs to intervene immediately. She appealed for swift diplomatic and consular assistance to ensure Akash’s safety and secure his safe return to India.
The incident underscores the growing concerns over exploitation faced by Indian job-seekers abroad, particularly those who fall prey to unauthorised recruitment agents and fraudulent intermediaries. Sule’s intervention has brought the case into public focus, with citizens on social media also calling for expedited government action.
