Asima, a resident of Shah Colony in Dabeerpura, had left for Riyadh in December 2015 on a ‘house maid’ visa procured via an agent. Where as, government had stopped issuing ‘house maid’ about two years ago, she was, in fact, sent to Riyadh on a business visit visa for 90 days and was illegally kept there in confinement.

Though there was no information from her since her departure, she telephoned home about two months ago informing the family about the instances of torture she has been meted out in the hands of her employer, Abdul Rahman Ali Mohammed.

On phone, she told her mother that she was harassed mentally and physically and requested her family to make arrangements for her return at any cost.
