Dubai, Oct 12 (TIWN) A Dubai-based Indian expat's plea regarding his passport taken away from him and being kept as a collateral against a bank loan has gone viral on Twitter.

According to Jahir Sarkar’s tweets to the Dubai Police, he said that he had been brought to Dubai by an Egyptian and got his visa stamped for a period of two years. It was after getting the visa stamped that the man took a loan for Jahir, but took all of the money instead, the Khaleej Times reported on Saturday.

The Egyptian placed Jahir’s passport as a collateral/guarantee against the bank loan.
