A Woman From Tirupati In Kuwait Facing Hardship Has Reached India Safely
A Kuwaiti visa agent allegedly tortured a woman from Tirupati, who was traced to the Indian Embassy in Kuwait by the Indian Consulate in Kuwait.
In a report on Wednesday, the New Indian Express reported that an Indian visa agent had held captive Sravani from Tirupati in Kuwait. The report mentions that she sent her husband a video message complaining of harassment and being locked in a room by the agent. A frustrated maid's husband in India reached out to the local media based on the video clip.
In the meantime, after seeing the news report, the Indian Embassy in Kuwait managed to trace her and flew her back to India the same night. According to sources at the Indian Embassy in Kuwait, Sravani arrived safely in India on Wednesday night and joined her husband.
Sibi George released a WhatsApp helpline number earlier this month as part of the Indian Embassy's outreach program. These WhatsApp numbers can even be used to send voice messages to the Embassy in any of the Indian languages so that it can trace them. These helplines should be used by community members as a means of contacting Embassy in an emergency.
