A brother is in jail for drug use. What to do?

Hi,

I am an Indian. My brother is working in Sharjah. It has been 10 days we can't get any information about him. When we contacted the company, they said he was in jail for drug use.

Can you please suggest what we can do for him to come back to India?

We don't know the legal formalities. Can you please help us?

Hi questioner,

Good day!

Kindly be informed that as per Federal Decree no. 30 of 2021, drug use in the UAE is a punishable offense and liable to a fine of AED 20,000 to AED 100,000 and a jail term of a minimum of three months up to 2 years depending upon the gravity and recurrence of the offense.

Whereas the possession of drugs for trafficking purposes is a graver offense and has more severe penal consequences.

In your brother's case, we can assist you to complete the legal formalities to get a favorable decision from the concerned authorities.

Kindly provide more details of the case via phone, WhatsApp, or email for better assistance.

Best Regards,

Contact us via WhatsApp and send a copy of your brother's passport to see if there is a circular issued against him and to know the case.

The police will deport him if there is a drug case, but after some time you can hire a lawyer to help him.
