Hyderabad, May 09 (ANI): A 25-year-old woman from Hyderabad, who went to Saudi Arabia to work as a house help, was allegedly tortured to death. She died while undergoing treatment at the King Saud Chest Diseases Hospital in Saudi Arabia. The victim, who is identified as Asima Khatoon, was reported dead on Thursday by an unknown person who called her mother from Riyadh. She had left for Riyadh in December 2015 on a 'house maid' visa procured via an agent. She was illegally kept there in a confinement. Though there was no information of her since her departure, she telephoned home about two months ago, informing the family about the instances of torture she has been meted out at the hands of her employer, Abdul Rahman Ali Mohammed. On phone, she had allegedly told her mother that she was harassed mentally and physically and requested her family to make arrangements for her return at any cost. Meanwhile, the police are investigating the case.
