“His treatment has been cruel inhuman and degrading and is also a gross abuse of his human rights and right to his religious belief has been violated,” the grievance reads.
Times Now spoke to Manik and he alleged that he was mocked and humiliated in front of his colleagues by the employer on the basis of his faith. He also said that no one intervened when he was forcefully fed beef. He also said that there are others like him in Jeddah who are facing the same situation.

The man had secured this job through a consultancy based out of Mumbai. Manik now wants to return to India and has appealed to Dr S Jaishankar, the newly appointed Minister of External Affairs on Twitter.
The EAM has instructed the Indian Embassy in Riyadh to keep him apprised on the situation.
Last year, Saudi Arabia arrested more than 1.25 million people for violating residential, labour and border security regulations, as per the local media reports.
Many Indians are lured by local consultancy firms to join the Saudi workforce with the promise of good pay. However, most of them are cheated and once they arrive in Middle Eastern countries their passports are seized by the company and they are forced to work under inhumane conditions.
