A 26-year-old Hyderabad woman has alleged she was lured to Oman with the promise of a housemaid's job but was instead forced to work up to 15 hours daily without pay, assaulted and denied basic amenities.
A 26-year-old woman from Hyderabad has alleged that she was subjected to abuse, forced to work long hours and denied wages after travelling to Oman for a housemaid's job allegedly secured through false promises by a local recruitment agent.
Shabnam Begum claimed she travelled to Muscat on March 26 after being assured employment as a domestic worker. However, instead of the promised job, she alleged she was made to work for 12 to 15 hours a day in multiple houses without receiving any salary for more than three months.
In a self-recorded video sent to Majlis Bachao Tehreek leader Amjed Ullah Khan, Begum alleged that she was made to work "day and night", was denied access to a mobile phone for nearly one-and-a-half months, and was subjected to physical abuse. She further claimed she was not provided adequate food and accommodation during her stay.
Unable to endure the alleged mistreatment, Begum said she escaped from her employer's residence and reached the Indian Embassy in Muscat. However, she claimed her passport had been taken away by the recruitment agents, preventing her from returning to India. In the video, she appealed for help and sought immediate intervention for her safe return.
