Dharamshala: A young woman from the Shahpur assembly constituency in Himachal’s Kangra district, who left India in search of employment, found herself in Oman instead of Dubai.

The Kangra police, after contacting the Indian Embassy in Oman following the woman’s live location sent by her to her brother, ensured her safe arrival at the embassy. The woman has now established contact with both her relatives and the Kangra police.

On Monday, the Kangra police also questioned the agent responsible for sending the woman to Dubai. Allegations have been made by the woman and her brother that it was due to the agent that she ended up in Oman instead of Dubai, where she faced difficulties.

Pavana from Kutharna had left for Dubai in search of employment on December 16. After boarding the flight in Delhi, she had a video call with her brother. However, no trace of her was found thereafter.

On December 27, the family received a voice message from an unknown number in Oman, where the girl stated that she and 7-8 other girls were taken to Oman, and their lives were in danger. She mentioned that her passport and mobile were taken by some people.

On December 31, a case was registered at the women’s police station in Chandigarh against Shruti, Manpreet Kaur, and an unknown person. The police are currently conducting inquiries into the allegations.

Meanwhile, Pavana has been brought safely to the Indian Embassy, and the necessary formalities are being completed to bring her back to India soon. Investigations are on to determine how Pavana ended up in Oman instead of Dubai, and the agent is being questioned in this regard.
