My Friend is in Big Trouble here in Qatar....Please advise

My friend from Kerala was cheated by a person who is working in Qatar for the last 25 years. He had promised him a salary of QR4500 and brought him here as a Site Supervisor. But he was paid only QR1500 and for the last 5 months he is not paid anything and living with the help of some good people who came to know about his problem... It was most surprising to know recently only that his agreement was made for only QR750 !!!!.

Now he tried to find a job somewhere else and he could find one job... But the person or the sponsor not giving him an NOC or release to join the other job and not paying him the salary too....

Can anybody advise a way out of this problem???.
Since he has nothing at Kerala except his wife and two small children and his old father. He is not having a cent of land since it was sold for the treatment of his mother who died a couple of years back due to cancer...

Awaiting a response !!!
Thanks
