However, making matters complicated, Saudi Public Security in a statement said that the claims made by the man were 'baseless' and he made the video for views.&nbsp;&nbsp;The timing of the video coincides with Saudi Arabia's abolition of &nbsp;the decades-old Kafala system, where the employer controlled the visas of foreign workers. Critics had compared the system to modern-day slavery.&nbsp;Read more | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/what-is-kafala-system-saudi-arabia-abolishes-labour-system-that-can-affect-2-3-million-indian-workers-1761198249365">What is Kafala system?
