In yet another case of human trafficking, a woman was allegedly trafficked to Saudi Arabia on the pretext of being offered a job.

The victim, who left for the UAE five years ago, was allegedly offered a good job in Saudi Arabia by an agent. However, upon reaching the country, the victim was not paid her dues on time or given any refreshments by the employer.

Unable to bear the torture, the victim ran away from the employer but was later handed over by the police, and subsequently threatened by the employer,

"She (victim) went to Saudi Arabia for a job she received through agents based out of Hyderabad and Mumbai. I was told she would return in two years' time, but it has been five years since then.
