 "Swaraj responds to Facebook post on 14 Indians stranded in Malaysia")
A social media post stating that a group of 14 Indians from Tamil Nadu are stranded in Malaysia after being allegedly duped by a job agent drew External Affairs Minister Sushama Swaraj's attention today as she said the Indian envoy in Kuala Lumpur has contacted them.
A Facebook post by one of the victims said they were a group of 14 people from Tamil Nadu and had arrived in Malaysia in July.
The post said they were promised a higher salary by a job agent in Tamil Nadu but were given a lesser amount and when they protested and refused to work they were allegedly beaten.
The post drew the attention of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who tweeted: "Our High Commission in Malaysia has contacted them. Police has taken cognizance. Please contact Mission for any help." She also posted a link to the Facebook post.
