Professor Sanjeev Dhari Sinha, resident of Patna, the capital of Bihar, has been stranded in Libya for the last 14 years. He has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs for help to return to India. Sanjeev Dhari Sinha alleges that he is living there in a hostage-like situation and is facing a lot of mental and physical torture. According to the report of Prabhat Khabar, Sanjeev Dhari Sinha has requested the Government of India for his safe return and justice.
Why is Professor Sanjeev Dhari Sinha stuck in Libya?
Sanjeev Dhari Sinha worked as a professor of English at Tripoli University and Elmerghib University in Libya. Their main problem is to get exit visa from the government there. According to him, the Libyan authorities are not giving him the necessary visa to come to India. Sanjeev alleged that he has been held hostage there and is not being allowed to return home. Apart from this, his salary arrears have also been a big issue for which he has been struggling for a long time.
What information has been received so far from the Government of India and the Ministry of External Affairs?
At present, no new statement has been issued by the Government of India or the Ministry of External Affairs on this latest appeal made by Sanjeev Dhari Sinha. Although External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar had met Libyan officials earlier this year, there was no confirmation that any personal matter was discussed. Sanjeev’s family and human rights activists had earlier also raised this matter with the Human Rights Commission.
