Muscat, July 19 - An Asian woman sustained multiple injuries after she jumped off a three-storeyed building in Ruwi on Wednesday. According to the Royal Oman Police (ROP) sources, the young woman jumped on to the road from a flat where she was locked up by her captors. She has now been hospitalised.


She was trying to run away from the people who were “trying to push her into prostitution”, said the source. ROP has arrested two Asians in connection with the case. They have been booked under multiple sections, including kidnapping.


She was brought to the country on the promise that she would be employed in a beauty parlour.


“We have booked a case of human trafficking. We are in the lookout for those who brought her for illegal activity,” said a source in the ROP Public Relations Department. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecution for further investigation.
