Family members of an Indian man who was working in Dubai when he became paralysed allege that fraudulent conduct by the recruitment agency, Karthik International, meant he was unable to claim under an insurance policy provided by the Pravasi Baharatiya Bima Yojana (PBBY).

It is alleged that the recruitment should have used the e-Migrate system and by skipping this the worker is now unable to claim the benefit of the insurance policy. As a result of this alleged fraud, Kokeni Posanna has lost out on Rs 1 lakh in medical aid.

We invited Karthik International to respond but it did not.
