Bhubaneswar/Khurda: Another youth from Odisha stranded overseas returned home safe after the intervention of former MP Baijayant Panda.

Rabi Rout, a youth from Pariorada village under Tangi block of Khurda district had gone to work for a construction company in Dubai in 2013. During his stay in Dubai, there was a dispute between the labourers and security personnel of the company following which 35 persons including Rabi were detained by the local police.

However, 30 persons were released later but Rabi was kept in custody.
