Haryana Woman Trapped in Goa After False Promise of Job Germany

In a shocking case that highlights the growing sophistication of human trafficking networks, a 21-year-old woman from Haryana has become the victim of an elaborate trafficking scheme that began with a seemingly innocent connection through tailoring services. The case reveals how traffickers are now exploiting local connections and trust to target vulnerable families. 

The Web of Deception 

The wife of the primary accused Yogi Raj, Monica used to regulary visit the victim's mother for tailoring services and carefully cultivated services. Building trust through small financial transactions, including a deliberately planned loan repayment, the accused created a facade of reliability before presenting the fraudulent opportunity of overseas employment.

Financial Exploitation and False Promises 

The family believed that accused in the promise of better future and sold their house and land for paying 38 lakh to the traffickers. The agents promised that the money help the victim to get a secure job in Germany after 8-month training period. To maintain the trust, they even sent digitally manipulated photographs showing the victim in Germany. 

For over a year, the victim was allowed to call the family only for 30 seconds which was also strictly monitored. During the phone calls she wasn't able to speak freely. The family's independent investigation has revealed that instead of being in Germany, their daughter is allegedly being held captive at a bar in Goa and forced to work as a dancer, with fears of further exploitation.

The case has been brought to the attention of Panipat SP Lokendra Singh, who has assured an investigation into the matter. This case underscores the urgent need for increased vigilance against sophisticated trafficking operations that exploit local connections and trust within communities.
