According to The News Minute reports, he went to Saudi Arabia in search of employment six years ago, since then, he has not been allowed to visit his family in India as his employer allegedly confiscated his passport and other documents.
The 32-year-old in the video explained his dreadful condition in the country and how he feared for his life every single day.
The news agency reached out to Ravi's family and learnt that he has not received his salary for the last six months. The issue got more serious three months ago when his father died and he approached his employer to return home, requesting his documents and pending salary for the same. The employer allegedly thrashed Ravi and locked him in a room in response.
Sujatha Ankamolla, Ravi's wife said, "He called me in the middle of the night saying he was badly beaten up. The next morning, he sent videos of how the employer had tortured him. As the matter went to the Embassy authorities' notice, he again thrashed him," as quoted by TNM.
She said that the employer returned Ravi's phone only on the assurance of not recording videos, otherwise face serious consequences. The family has not been able to reach out to him since Ramadan.
Meanwhile, his wife has filed a complaint with the Telangana State Human Rights Commission requesting for the return of her husband.
