Shashi is in jail for allegedly contacting an agent to arrange his return home and leaving his job without informing the company, according to the police. He was absent from work for seven consecutive days,” a senior police official said, according to PTI. Lalan submitted an application at the Hussinabad police station on Monday, urging the Palamu district administration to bring his son back, Superintendent of Police Kapil Choudhary told news agency PTI.
Family waited four months before reporting matter
His father, Lalan, said the family waited four months to report the matter as they were assured by Shashi that he would be released soon. However, after waiting for more than four months, they decided to seek the government’s help to secure his release and bring him back to India. “My son went to Dubai in 2025 to work for a private company on a contract basis. The family had fixed his sister’s wedding for June 26, and Shashi wanted to attend it.
He paid an agent to return home, but was trapped,” the aggrieved father said.
