They showed knives and threatned to kill us otherwise,” the older victim said while showing her wounds. “We were told they he’s a good man with a big house. But we did not know what he does. We were brought for handling domestic chores… but he did horrific things with us,” said the woman. “We want to go back to Nepal and these people should be jailed as soon as possible,” she added. Members of an NGO, who assisted Gurgaon Police during the rescue operation, said the victims were sold to an Indian agent for Rs one lakh each. “They were brought to India in the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake. The victims were in misery and were offered Rs 30,000 and good food by an agent named Kaplana. “Kalpana sold them to an agent named Anwar in India after being paid Rs 1 lakh for each. The victims were taken to Jeddah but atrocities began after they were brought to India,” the NGO member said. Gurgaon police raided the flat in DLF Phase-II and rescued the two women on Monday. An FIR has been filed under various sections of IPC. Gurgaon police has contacted the Nepal Embassy for assistance. “We have sought a report from local police,” MEA spokesperson said The Saudi Embassy is in touch with External Affairs Ministry regarding the matter.
