Telangana Man Stranded in Dubai Over Bank Fraud Case; Father Seeks Government Help

A 21-year-old man from Telangana has been stuck in Dubai for over six months after being linked to a suspected on bank fraud case. His family is now asking the government to help bring him home.

Gorre Rajendhar, from Parimandal village in Nirmal district, went to Dubai in 2023 through a local agent after completing his intermediate education. He worked there as a cleaner, earning 1,000 Dirhams (around ₹23,470) per month.

After a year, about 2,000 Dirhams (around ₹46,941) were transferred to a bank account linked to his residency number without his knowledge. Soon after, his employer terminated from his job.

When Rajendhar tried to return to India, immigration officials at the airport stopped him, saying that there was an ongoing investigation related to the transaction.

Since then, he has been staying with friends in Al Qusais and regularly visits the police station and the Indian Embassy to try and resolve the all issue.

Recently, his father, Gorre Ganganna, filed a complaint with the Nirmal district administration and asked for help from Swadesh Parikipandla, a member of the Telangana NRI advisory committee for Gulf migrant welfare.

The issue has been brought to the attention of the Indian Embassy in Dubai and relevant state with authorities, including the General Administration Department (GAD).

Speaking on the matter, Swadesh Parikipandla urged jobseekers not to go abroad without proper skills or verified job offers. He also warned to Gulf migrants to stay cautious of online scams, cyber fraud, and credit card misuse, which often target vulnerable workers.
