"I was hungry, picked up the bread, and asked if it belonged to your father," said a woman who returned to Bhopal from Dubai. She claimed her mobile phone and passport were stolen and she was imprisoned for 90 days.

I was very hungry that day. I had food in front of me. I picked up two rotis when a woman's eyes fell on me. She said, "Are these rotis from your father?" Hearing this, my hands stopped. I put the rotis back down. This story has been narrated by Sultana (name changed), who lives in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. In June 2026, she went to Dubai through an agent. The salary was discussed at around ₹10-12 thousand per month. Sultana met that agent through a neighbor.
