Nizamabad: Around 450 Indian workers have been in jail in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the past four months. These are migrant workers belonging to various states, including Telangana, who landed in jail for petty crimes. The victims urged their respective state governments and the Ministry of External Affairs to get them released and allow them to go back to their native places.

In a video clip received by Deccan Chronicle on Tuesday, some of these inmates explained their woes. According to them, a majority of migrant workers were thos who were imprisoned for signal crossing, vegetable and water sale and lockdown violations.
 
Over 2,000 workers
are awaiting release after being jailed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for over a month. Despite several representations before the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, there has been no respite for the stranded labourers.

The issue came to light after few of the labourers shared a WhatsApp video with India Today. In the video they have appealed to the Prime Minister and the Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj for their safe release.
