Kuwait: Indian migrant worker owed wages by construction company Al-Sager; company did not respond

In February 2020, Indian worker Jeelu Prusty alleged that he had been left in Kuwait without owed wages by his employer, Al-Sager Co, after leaving employment. 

Prusty had initially been contracted by Indian-owned Heena Enterprises and "subsequently engaged" by them at Al-sager. Although he believed he had been offered a job as a pipe fabricator, Al-Sager engaged him in soil transporting. Prusty also alleged harassment from the company and requested the Indian government repatriate him.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Al-Sager to respond to the allegations; they did not respond.
