Summary
- Woman pleaded for help from Kuwait in a viral video.
- She alleged torture and two months of unpaid wages.
- Tamil Nadu authorities facilitated her safe return home.
A distressing video plea from a Tamil Nadu woman, Vanitha, alleging torture and unpaid wages in Kuwait gained significant attention, prompting swift action from authorities. Vanitha, a domestic worker from Kallakurichi district, stated she had not received her salary for two months and was enduring unbearable conditions.
Her appeal, directed at the Kallakurichi Collector and Superintendent of Police, went viral on social media, leading to her identification and the tracing of her family members. Following her family's complaint, efforts were initiated for her rescue and safe return to India.
Vanitha was subsequently rescued and expressed her gratitude to the authorities and the Union government in a released video. This incident echoes a similar case from 2024 involving an Andhra Pradesh woman who also released a video alleging mistreatment and requesting repatriation from Kuwait.
