Narrating her ordeal, the victim said, “The agent sent me to Riyadh. I was told that I will have to cook food for the children. But there was only one person in the family. He allowed me to sleep for a few hours only and made me work all day. He also used to misbehave and beat me when I refused to work. Not only that, he also deducted my salary when I fell ill.” She further recalled, “Even during Ramzan, he starved me for days.” Source: ANI
