None of the 44 poor women recently detained by the Bureau of Immigration at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad here, were aware of the fact that their visas were forged by agents in connivance with employers in Kuwait.
The women, mostly from East Godavari, West Godavari, Kadapa and Chittoor districts in Andhra Pradesh, and some from Tamil Nadu and Goa, were about to board a flight to Kuwait “for work” on tourist visas.
Speaking to The Hindu, a senior officer said all the women, who were in the age-group of 20 to 45, were not aware of the immigration process for employment abroad and many of them were not even aware that they were boarding a flight on tourist visas ‘for work’ purpose, which is illegal.
