Maid from Hyderabad being harrassed by Saudi employer
The family members of a woman, who went to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia as housemaid, has alleged that she is being subjected to harassment by her employer.
Warangal: The family members of a woman, who went to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia as housemaid, has alleged that she is being subjected to harassment by her employer.
The woman, identified as Shaik Sakina, who hailed from Fateh Darwaza area in Hyderabad, went to Riyadh on October 15 last year by hiring the services of a Mumbai-based Rizwan Overseas Human Resources for Rs 50, 000, according to her son, Shaik Ali.
Before going to Riyadh, she was promised a salary of Saudi Riyals 1,200 but after reaching there she was offered Saudi Riyals 1,000. In addition to it, she was forced to work in four to five houses for long hours and was subjected to mental and physical torture, he said.
Unable to bear the torture, she approached the Indian Embassy on January 24 this year. She was later shifted to Saudi Sifarat Khana (Embassy Quarter) and lodged there for the past three months on the pretext that she was mentally upset, Ali complained.
He lodged a complaint with the local police, but to no avail. Following which, he approached social worker Shaik Chand Pasha of Warangal, who is working for victims of Gulf victims through his Gulf Returnees Welfare Society.
Pasha, had in turn, written letters to the Indian Embassy officials in Riyadh, Telangana CMO and PMO, explaining the the plight of Sakina. “I appealed to the officials to take up the issue seriously and initiate immediate measures to bring the woman back,” he said speaking to The Hans India on Friday.
