Bangladeshi media are currently reporting the death of a Bangladeshi worker after his sponsor allegedly confined him in an unventilated underground room in a building in the Al Arid district, where no air conditioning was available.

Mohammed Shanto Ahmed, 23, a Bangladeshi national, worked as a cleaner for a Saudi cleaning company in Riyadh that was contracted to provide services to a hotel in the Al Arid district. Commentators in the Bangladeshi media are calling for both the hotel and the cleaning company to be held accountable.
