These people, mostly from Churu and Nagaur region of Rajasthan had travelled to Malaysia in pursuit of better pay and work opportunity, however, they did not get work and are now stranded without their passport and travel documents.

"A travel agent in Rajasthan duped us. We had given him Rs 1.5 lakh each. He sent us by a tourist visa but we did not get any work here. We have no money for food or transport. We managed to get some food from a nearby eatery. We even requested the Indian embassy but they did not listen to us," said a worker.

"We are suffering. There is no one to listen to us. We have been duped and kept shut here. We request the External Affairs Minister to help us," he said.
