Yavatmal youth stranded in Malaysia returns to Mumbai

25-year-old Yogesh Tiwari, a resident of Yavatmal in Vidarbha, who was stranded in Malaysia after being duped by an agent who promised him a job there, returned here today.
An official in the Chief Minister's Office said Devendra Fadnavis had stepped in to ensure his safe return.
"I am very much thankful to Fadnavis sir. We are feeling proud that we have a politician and CM like him," Tiwari said.
Fadnavis said he was happy that Yogesh is back in his home state. "You are welcome! Glad to know you've reached India safely," the Chief Minister tweeted.
Fadnavis also thanked Union ministers Sushma Swaraj and Gen V K Singh for their support in the youth's return to India.

Tiwari had on Sunday tweeted to Fadnavis describing his plight and seeking help immediately. He told Fadnavis that he was promised a job in Malaysia by a Chandigarh-based agent.

But when he landed in Malyasia, he realised that all of it was a hoax and that the agent was not even there to help him figure out about his work visa.
Tiwari, who had given away Rs 1.5 lakh, almost all the money that he had, to the agent as fee, had to resort to doing menial work to survive in the foreign city for the week.

"I will file a police case against the agent who duped
