Mother alleges daughter tortured to death by employer in Saudi

A 34-year-old woman from here was tortured to death by her employer in Saudi Arabia, her mother has alleged.
A complaint was received by Reinbazar police from Ghousia Khtoom, a resident of Chadarghat, alleging that her daughter, who left for Saudi Arabia last December, was tortured by her master, which subsequently led to her death.
"Khtoom alleged that she received a call on May 2 from Saudi Arabia saying her daughter had some chest complaint and was admitted to a hospital and died on the same day," police inspector G Ramesh told PTI today.
"Through the Telangana government, police have requested the Indian Embassy (in Saudi Arabia) there to help bring her body here. Khtoom alleged that her daughter died due to the torture meted out to her," the officer said.

A case has been registered and investigations are underway, he said.
