Two women from Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district were allegedly confined and forced into prostitution in Abu Dhabi after being promised jobs there by two city-based agents, police said today.
Both women, in their 30s, narrated their ordeal to police here following which Chandrayangutta Police booked a case of extortion, cheating and attempt for immoral trafficking in this regard, a senior police officer said.
Agents Mohd Imtiyaz and a woman Fathima, had promised jobs of house maid in Abu Dhabi to both the women but were instead forced into prostitution beside doing work of cleaning toilets there, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Zone) V Satyanarayana told PTI.
One of the woman returned to India on health grounds last week and police managed to get another woman back to the city today.
Efforts were on to nab both the agents who are absconding along with further probe, police said.
