Hyderabad: One more Hyderabadi woman was deceived by agents. She is facing mental and physical harassment at the hands of her kafil in Saudi Arabia.
Salma Begum, 39, a resident of Babanagar ‘C’ block was allegedly sent to Saudi Arabia by two agents identified as Akram and Shafi of the same locality on January 21, 2017 on a housemaid visa.
Salma Begum’s daughter Sameena said that her mother was cheated by Akram and Shafi. “My mother is in trouble in Saudi. She wants to return home but her Kafil is not allowing her to get back here. I even met Akram requesting him to get my mother back, but he did nothing so far. We went to Kanchanbagh police station, but the police appear to be unmoved by the matter and has not taken any action so far,” Sameena said.
Sameena further said that she had learnt that her mother was sold to the kafil for 3 lakh. “The torture started when she denied to a contract marriage with her Kafil in Saudi Arabia. She however informed me sending message that she was sold by agents. so the Kafil does not want to send her back,” Sameena added.She alleged that despite several complaints and requests, the Kanchanbagh police have failed to take action against agents Akram and Shafi. Akram was called to the police station once.
He had assured us that he would bring our mother back home by February 20, 2017, but so far she has not returned home,” Salma Begum’s daughter said.
Salma has now sent an audio message to her daughter Sameena, in which, she is requesting the Indian government to bring her back to India.
“I am trying all efforts to bring my mother back home. I kindly request Telangana and central governments to bring my mother back to India,” Sameena Begum appealed.
Financial woes and debts drove Salma Begum to Saudi Arabia.
