A 29-year-old lady from hyderabad who traveled to Muscat, oman in search of work was sexually assaulted by Kafil's brother and is now attempting to return to India. Her mother submitted a letter to India's minister of External Affairs, subrahmanyam jaishankar, requesting assistance.

How did hyderabad woman land in Oman?

Before leaving hyderabad, the woman worked as a helper at a metropolitan hospital.

According to the letter made by the woman’s mother, an agent called Shoukat approached her with a job offer in Muscat, Oman.

After accepting the employment offer, the hyderabad woman visited oman on january 30, 2023, on a visit visa. When she arrived in oman, she was greeted by someone named Naser. She spent one week at a personnel consultant company in oman before being transferred to a residence and asked to work as a housemaid.

Sexually assaulted by Kafil’s brother

During her six-month stint as a housemaid, she was not only tormented and denied enough food and shelter, but she was also sexually abused by Kafil's (employer's) brother.

She wanted to return to India, but Kafil gave her over to Naser, who kept her at the office.

Soon, the hyderabad woman fled the office and approached the indian Embassy in Muscat, Oman.

For the past two months, she has been sitting on the road outside the indian Embassy office in Muscat, living on food provided to her.

Her mother begged jaishankar in the letter to contact the indian Embassy in Muscat to arrange for the woman's rescue.

In the last week, two similar cases involving hyderabad women who went to oman to work as housemaids and ended up stranded in the Middle Eastern country have surfaced.
