A Bangladeshi expatriate named Rubel Mondal, aged 21, from Dighalkandi area of Jorkhali Union in Madarganj, Jamalpur, has been missing in Saudi Arabia for 21 days. He went to Saudi Arabia on January 27 this year through a local broker and was employed at a private clinic in Mecca. His family last spoke with him on April 16 at around 4 p.m., after which all communication through Imo, Facebook, and Messenger stopped.

Rubel’s mother, Monowara Begum, expressed deep anguish, saying she had sent her youngest son abroad with great hopes and now has no idea of his whereabouts. She appealed to the government to help locate him. Madarganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Suman Chowdhury said he learned about the incident through social media and would inform higher authorities to ensure necessary assistance for the family.

The family remains in distress as the search continues, with local authorities pledging to escalate the matter for further action.
