Their family has lodged a complaint with the control room set up by the state government, seeking assistance for their safe return. Both youths remain stranded in Dubai, which has seen some impact in recent days due to tensions in the Middle East.
Rehan’s father, Arif Qureshi, a contractor, said his son and nephew went to Dubai seven months ago to work for a Gulf company. On the pretext of a medical examination, the company took their passports and has not returned them.
Following tensions in the Middle East, both have taken shelter at a relative’s home but have run out of money. Qureshi recently sent them Rs 25,000. The family is concerned about their safety. The agent who facilitated their travel is no longer responding to calls.

Bhopal resident Satendra Singh said his uncle Rajesh Singh and relative Anil Kumar went to Bahrain to work for JBF Company. Due to tensions in the region, they are concerned and want to return to India. However, the company has not provided necessary assistance. They are residents of Morena district.
