Earlier, SP had apprised the Chief Minister Punjab on Tuesday in this case regarding illegal trafficking of women to Oman\/Muscat, in the presence of DGP.\u00a0 He said the Chief Minister had directed for more arrests and Look-Out Circular for the accused outside India or trying to go out of India.<\/p>\n
Talking about modus operandi, he said, the agents had promised a work visa but were sending on a tourist visa.\u00a0 At the same time, promising Dubai but sending Oman with a paying job with good working conditions but reality is low wages\/no wages and bad working conditions. \u00a0The accused had been targeting economically weaker section women with promise of jobs, for long working hours and tiring domestic work in Oman.<\/p>\n
Unscrupulous travel agents first open fake companies in Middle Eastern countries to pretend that they work there. The local women or men who are already there act as middlemen and look out for young women or their relatives who are poor and in dire need of money in India.\u00a0 They paint a rosy picture of the kind of money that they can make by just spending a couple of years.\u00a0 In most cases, the women are taken on a tourist visa as the agents\u2019 claim that these will be extended for two years. Once they sign the agreement in good faith, they are bound to work for two years and apart from domestic work, they are forced to indulge into illegal work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
