The case of Nargis (name has been changed), a 45-year-old woman from Unnao in Uttar Pradesh, first came to the notice of the police. The woman was separated from her husband and the responsibility of the house fell on her. So he decided to go to the Gulf country and for this he enlisted the help of an agent.

The woman later gave all the information to her Bharat Srithat daughter, so that her daughter, with the help of the police, released her mother. When the woman arrived in India, she was interrogated by other women who were similarly framed. After which the police released 12 women like Nargis and helped bring them back to India.
