HYDERABAD: A woman from Hyderabad, who was trafficked to Oman, has been rescued, thanks to the intervention of the Ministry of External Affairs.
The woman thanked external affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and social worker and MBT leader Amjed Ullah Khan for responding to her request and ensuring that she returned back home.
A resident of Shaheen Nagar in Ranga Reddy district, the woman was allegedly trapped by some local agents and was trafficked to Oman where she was made to work as a housemaid in Sur, Oman. She was stuck there since November 2021.
Amjed Ullah Khan said the woman was promised a job in Muscat but was trafficked to a remote area like Sur in Oman where she was asked to work for 15 to 18 hours everyday. She fell ill. Despite her ill-health, the employer refused to send her home and insisted that she pay Rs 2 lakh for her release.
With the intervention of the MEA and Indian Embassy in Muscat, the woman returned to India on Tuesday.
