Mangaluru, May 28: Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP-elect from Dakshina Kannada has sought the intervention of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in the case of 35 youngsters from Mangaluru reportedly stranded in Kuwait for five months.

In the letter, released to the media on Monday, Mr. Kateel said that the youth had been taken to Kuwait on the promise of jobs and good salaries. They have realised now that they have been conned as they have got neither and are living in inhuman conditions.

“All the youths are from poor families, and most are the sole breadwinners. I have spoken to them and they are not interested anymore in working in Kuwait. They just want to return to India,” Mr. Kateel said in the letter. “I understand from them that an agency in Kuwait is holding their original passports.” He also stated that a person has complained on the matter to the Indian embassy in Kuwait.

The matter came to light after one of the youngsters posted a video on social media seeking help from D. Vedavyasa Kamath, MLA for Mangaluru South. In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Kamath said he also has spoken to the youth over phone.

New Delhi, Mar 7: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the bail granted by Karnataka High Court to 21 Popular Front of India (PFI) members accused in connection with violence that erupted during the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Karnataka's Mangaluru in December 2019.

On February 17, the High Court had granted bail to the accused on the bail petition filed by Mohammed Ashik.

A bench consisting Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the accused on Friday after taking cognisance of the plea filed by Karnataka government against the bail granted by the High Court.

Appearing for the state government, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta criticised the High Court's order stating that at least 56 policemen sustained injuries during the violent protests.

Two persons identified as Jaleel (43) of Kudroli and Nousheen (49) of Bengre had died at a private hospital following the bullet injuries they sustained in an alleged police firing during a protest against CAA 2019.
