Hyderabad: Travel agent held for trafficking

HYDERABAD: In yet another case of trafficking, a 25-year-old woman was allegedly sent to Dubai by a travel agent under the pretext of providing her a beautician’s job. Police arrested the agent.

The victim was identified as Mehraj Kausar from Pisalbanda in Santosh Nagar. The victim’s sister Hameeda Anjum said, “In 2016, my sister approached a travel agent named Sameer from Haimidi Travels at Santosh Nagar for a job. She was promised a beautician’s job, but however, she has been forced to work as a maid in Dubai ever since she has landed there. When she contacted me last, she said she had not been keeping in good health.”

A case has been registered against the travel agent who was arrested by Kanchanbag police.
