20-year-old Saba Fatima from Hafezbabanagar was trafficked to Riyadh on May 21

HYDERABAD: A 20-year-old woman from the city was trafficked to Saudi Arabia.

In a voice message sent to her brother Shaik Rizwan , the victim Saba Fatima said if she is not rescued, she may die there. Sabah Fatima has a 11-month-old baby girl Amira . Her husband, Feroze a driver, died a few months ago. “He died in a road accident,“ Rizwan told TOI.

When the family needed money, Rizwan said an agent promised her a beautician's job in Dubai. However, she was trafficked to Saudi Arabia from there and forced to work as a housemaid.

“There are 11 people in the house and they are making her slog from morning till night. She is being ill-treated,“ Rizwan said. According to Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) leader Amjedullah Khan , the victim, a resident of Hafezbabanagar was traf ficked to Riyadh on May 21 after being taken to Dubai on a visit visa. The victim's family is planning to lodge a police complaint against the illegal agent who trafficked Sabah Fatima.

“My sister is pleading to be rescued. She is having a harrowing time there. We did not expect that she would land in this kind of situation. Our family is deeply troubled. Her daughter is not keeping well,“ Rizwan further added.

He said the agent had cheated Sabah Fatima and had sent her to Dubai in a hurry. No sooner did she land in Riyadh, Sabah Fati ma realized that she had been cheated. Instead of a beautician's job, she was made to work as a housemaid. She was told that there were three family members and that there would not be so much of work. However, it turned out that there were more than 10 people and she was forced to work day and night with little time to sleep or rest.

“This is the sixth case being reported from the same locality at Hafezbabanagar under Kanchanbagh police station limits where gullible women have been trafficked by illegal agents to the gulf,“ Khan added.
