A Nepali Woman And Her 44-Year-Old Mother Kept As Sex Slaves Rescued From Saudi Diplomat’s Home In India

The shame of rape and slavery has nothing to do with Islam. So there is no
justification of this crime committed by this Saudi Diplomat in his house in
India. He had kept a Nepali woman and her mother as sex slaves.Stand up against
sex slavery and rape as it is the worst crime against women’s

Gurgaon rape case: The vicitms
claimed that the Saudi diplomat also took them to other places, including
Nainital and Agra, where they were introduced to other ‘guests’ and subjected
to further sexual assault.

A Nepali woman and her 44-year-old mother were
rescued from the Gurgaon residence of a diplomat from Saudi Arabia on Monday
night.
“Last four months were a curse
for us. It was so ugly…we thought we were going to die in that house and our
families would never even find our bodies,” said the 20-year-old woman from
Nepal, who had been sexually abused for months.
The woman and her 44-year-old
mother were rescued from the Gurgaon residence of a diplomat from Saudi Arabia
on Monday night. Hired as domestic help, they were allegedly held hostage at
the house and sexually abused every day for the last four months by the
diplomat and his ‘guests’.

“There were days when seven to
eight men — all from Saudi Arabia — would assault us. If we resisted, the
diplomat and his family would threaten to kill us and dispose of our bodies in
the sewer,” said the older woman. She claimed that on one occasion, the
diplomat had even slashed her on the arm with a knife.

On some days, they would be
given no food at all, she said. But they were allowed to bathe, right before
they had to meet the diplomat’s ‘guests’, who would rape and sodomise them,
said the women.
The diplomat’s wife made no
attempt to help them; instead, she beat them up, alleged the women. “We were
made to do all the household chores, from morning till late in the night, and
then subjected to sexual assault at the end of the day. We were not given food.
Sometimes we only survived on biscuits, bread and watery tea. We were never
allowed to step out of the house,” said the women.
They claimed that the diplomat
also took them to other places, including Nainital and Agra, where they were
introduced to other ‘guests’ and subjected to further sexual assault.
“Right after we were employed,
our employer took us to Saudi Arabia for 15 days. There, he did not touch us or
misbehave with us. After we returned in May, he asked us to massage him… he
then raped us and forced us to have unnatural sex and oral sex. After that he
offered us to his friends regularly,” they stated in their police complaint.
The women were finally rescued
with the help of NGO Maiti Nepal India, which was informed about their plight
by another woman who had been employed as a domestic help at the diplomat’s
residence but ran away within three days.
NGO members then enlisted the
help of someone who had access to the women and managed to pass on a mobile
phone to them. “They were in constant touch with us for the last five days.
They would narrate their ordeal on the phone and we assured them that they will
be rescued soon,” said Bal Krishna Pandey, convener of NGO Maiti Nepal India.
The NGO then informed the
Nepal Embassy, which wrote to the Ministry of External Affairs and Gurgaon
police. A police team raided the diplomat’s residence on Monday night and
rescued the two women.
Maiti Nepal India has also
made arrangements to take the women back to their home — in Nepal’s Morang
district — on Wednesday.
