Telecom fraud: 3 more Mangaluru expats likely to walk free from Saudi jail soon

Jeddah, Jan 31: At least three of the four hapless Indian expatriates from Mangaluru, who have been languishing in Saudi jail after being trapped in an illegal call routing (Hundi) case, are likely to be released within a month.

jail After paying negotiated fine amount to Saudi Telecom company, judge Saad Al Garni who is chairing the probe into the case has reportedly ordered the release of three prisoners. If everything goes as expected, Riyaz Bajpe, Fairooz Ullal and Nasir Bundar will walk free soon as the formalities for their release is underway.

As per the complaint registered by Saudi Telecom Company in March 2003, as many as eight expatriate workers, all of them from Mangaluru and surrounding areas, had been implicated for allegedly passing and routing of illegal telephone calls and were sentenced to eight years of imprisonment by a Saudi Court. The accused were also asked by the Court to pay a fine of 6.7 million Saudi Riyals to the company.

However, even after serving more than a decade in jail most of them could not walk free from Jeddah jail as they were not able to pay the fine.

According to their family members these unfortunate expats have been made scapegoats for others’ wrongdoings while they were unable to communicate in Arabic or English language. Apparently they were quite new to the Kingdom and they were exploited of their ignorance and were trapped as they are unaware of the situation in the gulf country.

A few philanthropic Indian businessmen in Saudi Arabia had paid a huge amount of money as fine through Indian consulate for the cause the release of these prisoners. NRI organisations such as India Fraternity Forum had also had taken up the issue with Indian Consulate in Jeddah several times.
