Rescued Jalandhar woman to arrive in Delhi on May 6

Kanpur: With the initiative of Kanpur commissionerate police, one more woman, hailing from Jalandhar is all set to return to India from Oman on May 6 after being rescued from the clutches of human traffickers.
To recall, police commissioner Kanpur, Asim Kumar Arun, had approached the higher-ups in Delhi in this regard who pursued the matter with the Indian embassy in Muscat. He also wrote to the Indian embassy in Muscat, and police were in constant touch with officials of the Government of Oman.
DCP (crime) Salman Taj Patil said, “The woman's daughter had approached the commissionerate police and requested them to rescue her mother from the clutches of human traffickers. Subsequently, the police got in touch with our counterparts in Jalandhar and explained to them the rescue process following which they (Jalandhar police) immediately swung into action and contacted the Indian embassy in Muscat.”
“The authorities at Indian embassy in Muscat approached Oman's higher-ups and finally got the woman released from there. All the formalities in this regard were fulfilled. The woman is likely to reach Delhi on May 6. Once, she reaches her native place, the police will contact her and try to collect more clues with regard to other countrymen who have been held captive there,” the DCP further said.
In April, police had arrested Atiq and Muzammil, two members of a human trafficking gang, from the city following a complaint filed by a Unnao resident at the Colonelganj police station accusing the duo of cheating.
The duo had sent the complainant’s 40-year-old wife to Oman with a promise of a well-paid job.
The complainant said his wife instead landed at the house of a ‘kafeel’ (guarantor), who forced her to do household work for very less salary. Since then, she had been calling her husband to get her back to India.
During interrogation, the accused confessed that they were part of a well-organised international human trafficking racket and had sent nearly 18 persons, especially women, from across the country, to foreign countries against a hefty commission.
