Woman Held Captive in Dubai: HC Demands Rescue

The Orissa High Court has expressed grave concern over the alleged illegal detention of an Odisha woman in Dubai and mandated swift action for her rescue and return to India. The directive came during the hearing of a habeas corpus petition on April 20, where a division bench observed significant lapses in police response.

A social activist from Titlagarh filed the petition, alleging that Hasta Bisi, 37, from Jagua village in Bolangir district, is being held captive in Dubai by a foreign national, allegedly with local help. A video of the woman appealing for help had surfaced on social media.
