"She used to go to Qatar often for 2 to 4 years but this time she went with the help of an agent and never came back. We tried to trace her but all efforts went in vain as we could not even file a complaint. That we had no proof,” added the Indian woman.

He further revealed that the family used to meet the agent and ask about the mother, to which the agent would tell us that our mother was fine and did not want to have any contact with us.Yasmeen said her mother Hamida Banu said in the video that the agent told her not to tell anyone the truth.

Bano's sister said that the family recognized him when he gave the correct name and address of the family.

He added that the family contacted the agent to trace Bano who reportedly escaped after some time.
