Every year thousands of Punjabis fly to foreign lands for employment and better future. But for some, this dream turns sour as they are cheated by travel agents and given false assurances.
It is now getting even uglier, as some girls have alleged that they were sexually exploited in foreign land.
Gurdev Singh, father of Manjit Kaur, one of the victims of human trafficking had sold land and took loans to pay Rs eight lakh to a travel agent for her job in London. But she ended up in Ukraine where she was forced into prostitution.
The travel agent who tricked the family may just get away like many others.
When I saw this news on NDTV 24x7, I was shocked to hear about the rising incidents of human trafficking.
