She should not do as the agent tells her as the agent will only do what the employer wants. She should file a complaint and also contact the embassy officials in Saudi and the Indian authorities here in India.
She is entitled to compensation as her husband died in course se of duty
2) she should lodge her claim with the organisation where husband worked for compensation and also seek return of his body for last rites in India
It is better to take up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs giving all the relevant information and documentary proof and request them to intervene and provide redress.
She can write to the Chief Minister, with a copy to the district collector narrating the entire story and the background and seek the help of government to bring back the body to india. If there is no response, she can write to PM or President seeking intervention to get a solution.
- A complaint should urgently lodged in the office of Ministry of External Affairs and a copy of the same should be forwarded to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia , so that his body can be brought with immediate effect.
- Further, she is also entitled to get compensation as well, hence she can send a notice to his company directly after getting the official address even online.
- Further, if no positive response , then she can forwarded that notice to the Consulate of India .
Dear client, I am sorry to hear that but in this case the recovery of money can be done only when the contractual agreement between the parties States so
