Dammam, October 24: An Indian woman who had been stranded in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, flew back home safely thanks to the efforts of India Fraternity Forum.

Hyderabad based Rubeena (name changed) had got an offer of a beautician job from the Kingdom through an Indian agent. However, it was a terrible reality when she practically assigned to that occupation.

Rubeena had happily agreed to fly Saudi Arabia with lots of dreams in her mind when she was approached by an agent with a visa of beautician. But all her dreams ruined when she came to know that she was cheated and actually her profession in the visa was of a housemaid.

She had been forced to carry out works such as cleaning, washing etc. She also allegedly faced physical and mental harassment from the sponsor. Apparently she became sick due to heavy work load.

After enduring pain for several days, finally she managed escape when she had accompanied her sponsor for shopping. She later contacted the owners of coffee shop in Qateef area and explained them about her situation.

They helped her to contact the police who admitted her in a hospital. One of the nurses informed her brother in Tabuq, who contacted IFF people for help.

IFF members approached the Indian Embassy in Riyadh and pressurized the officials to take necessary steps to send Rubeena back home.

Rubeena and her family members have expressed gratitude to the IFF activists for their service.
