Hopes have surged for the safe return of Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Kumhra Bishanpur village in Dumra block, Sitamarhi district, who was recently arrested in Yemen. Before his arrest, Rakesh had called Sitamarhi MP Devesh Chandra Thakur, explaining his predicament. Taking the matter seriously, the MP promptly wrote to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) seeking assistance and also engaged with the Foreign Minister's office.

MP Devesh Chandra Thakur expressed optimism that a positive outcome regarding Rakesh's return could emerge within the next one to two days. Rakesh Kumar, son of Ram Vinod Singh, resides in Ward No. 14 of Kumhra Bishanpur village. According to his family, Rakesh traveled from Delhi to Oman on October 13 via Emirates Airlines, possessing a valid tourist visa and adhering to all legal procedures.

Allegedly, an employer or recruiting agent had promised Rakesh a job in a hospital in Yemen. Upon reaching Oman, the individual arranged for him to travel to Yemen by road instead of air, leading to his arrest in Yemen. It is reported that he was arrested despite having valid documents.

MP Devesh Chandra Thakur stated that Rakesh informed him about the situation over the phone before his arrest. Following this, the MP wrote to the concerned authorities and the MEA, requesting necessary help. He affirmed that all possible efforts are being made for Rakesh's safe return and hopes he will be back home soon. Rakesh's family has been deeply distressed since his arrest abroad, but the MP's intervention has brought them a ray of hope. Efforts for Rakesh's release and repatriation to India are ongoing, and his family eagerly awaits his safe return.
