Sukhwant Kaur was brought back to India last month only after External Affairs Minister Ms Sushma Swaraj intervened.
English daily The Indian Express has reported, "The police have booked Alamgir Ahmad, the owner of Al Saif Overseas Consultants, on charges of human trafficking under the Indian Penal Code and for cheating an emigrant under The Emigration Act. Stating that no arrest had taken place till now, Sarambalkar said the police would first gather evidence against Ahmad.
Sukhwant Kaur's family had alleged that she was sold to a Saudi family and was tortured there. The family has sought help of the minister who then intervened. Sushma Swaraj tweeted on May 30th, "Thanks for bringing this to my notice. Sukhwant Kaur is returning home on 31 may 2017 at 0415 hrs by Flt G9406 (sic)."
Sukhwant Kaur and the External Affairs Ministry’s Protector of Emigrants registered a complaint with the Agripada police station. The police told Indian express that the emigration stamp on Kaur's visa had been made at the Byculla office of the visa agent and not at the airport.
