Riyadh, May 9 -- A 23-year-old man from Telangana has appealed for rescue from Saudi Arabia after he was allegedly forced to work as a shepherd in a remote desert region despite being promised a different job.

Dasari Aravind, a resident of Battu Buttam Rajpalli village in Gollapalli mandal of Jagtial district, travelled to Saudi Arabia on February 15 after securing overseas employment through a recruiting agent.

A video of Aravind describing his ordeal has gone viral on social media. In the clip, he allegedly said he was living in harsh desert conditions without proper accommodation, drinking water, electricity or salary payments.
