Mandula Rajanna, a 59-year-old man from the Dalit community in Madhapur village, Telangana, has been jailed in the UAE for illegal stay and is struggling to prove his Indian nationality due to lack of documentation. Having left India in 2007 for work and lost access to his passport, Rajanna has no voter ID, Aadhaar, or educational records, making it extremely difficult to establish his citizenship. Despite clearing debts and working for years in the Gulf, he remains trapped in detention. His family has appealed to authorities in Telangana for help in securing his return home after nearly two decades abroad.
