Bengaluru, Feb 3: Saudi Arabian authorities have not responded to any query regarding the arrest of Harish Bangera from Kundapur, who allegedly shared hate posts on Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammad bin Salman on Facebook.
Bangera, who was employed as an air-conditioning technician for a company in Dammam was arrested on December 20.
The Ministry of External Affairs have sent several requests but authorities in the Gulf nation have not responded to even a single query.
The Saudi officials have also warned people from Bangera’s hometown in meeting him in prison as he has committed a serious offence. Bangera’s roommate from Pakistan tried his best to get him out of prison but to no avail.
Meanwhile, Bangera’s wife Sumana M remains inconsolable. She has alleged conspiracy and claims a fake social media account was used to post derogatory messages and frame her husband.
Sumana says that their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter asks about her father every single day. “Harish used to frequently video call and talk to our daughter. She cannot understand why her father is not calling her anymore,” she told media.
The Cyber Economic and Narcotics (CEN) police in Udupi who are investigating if the account is fake are still unclear whether the account is fake. According to a police source, in the same ID there was a video apologizing for the hate remarks.
