Aatif Mukhtar

Hello Sir,



This is Atif Mukhtar was working in Riyadh as a Barista. I was going to India on 13th of March 2022 when at the Emigration after took my fingerprint they detained me and told me that I have some case in Dammam. They took me in the Airport police station cell and kept me there for 4 days. On 17th of March 2022 they again took me fom Riyadh to Dammam on a flight. I got there and they kept me there for 6hrs. Then again they took me to Al Khobar police station on the same day. So I handed over there on Thursday the 17th. On Sunday 20th of March 2022 one police officer told me that in June 2019 I have some transaction from SNB bank to India of SAR 11400/-. Then I told them that I haven't done any such transaction because I already left Saudi Arabia in May 2019. So next day on 21st March 2022 they took me to Niyaaba. After much waiting they took me back to the cell. On 22nd of March 2022 they again took me to Niyaaba where I presented before a Sheikh. There I meet a person who was the Translator for me. He told me the whole case. I told him the same then he translated all my answers to the Sheikh (Judge). After written my statement I got back to my cell and the translator told me that I would be released soon. I waited for till 31st March 2022 when they took me again to Niyaaba. The same questions were asked and I replied with the same answer. Then the Sheikh and the translator told me that they will the check whether I have gone before the transaction or not. Now I waited until Tuesday the 5th of April 2022 10.10pm when the Police told me to arrange for one Saudi person to take "Kafala". I tried to call my company but got no response. So the Police asked me to wait and after 2 hours at 12.10am on 6th April 2022. They released me after noting down my number my Kafeel's number address and all. But the issue is that I got no release paper or anything from the police station. They just release me. Now as I came back to Riyadh and tried to have a ticket to India I fortunately open my Absher account where I found the I have travel restrictions and I can't go outside Saudi Arabia.


Now I hired a lawyer and he said the case in which I were detained found not guilty. Now what is the procedure to remove this travel ban as my lawyer is not giving me any answer. Please help
