Telangana man forced into sheep herding on Saudi farm, mother seeks CM’s help

The mother of a 25-year-old Telangana man Golkonda Rajavardhan Reddy recently appealed to Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy to rescue his son who is currently ‘stranded’ in Saudi Arabia under alleged forced labour conditions.

Rajavardhan, a resident of Irkodu Village, Siddipet district, travelled to Saudi Arabia on July 2,



2024, after being sponsored/employed by Abdullah Bin Luwaiban Bin Marzouq Al-Rashidi as a driver.

Despite incurring an expense of Rs 2 lakh to secure employment in the Kingdom, the Telangana man is reportedly being forced to work as a sheep herder and general helper on an agricultural farm under severe conditions in Dharghat, Hail Province.
