Pune Police have registered a case against seven people after a 28-year-old Nagpur woman said she was trafficked to Portugal and sold for sexual exploitation. India Today reports she paid Rs 11 lakh to a Pune agency, We Migrate, which promised a supermarket job with a Rs 1.5 lakh monthly salary. Instead, she was taken to Odemira, made to work at a beer shop, and told she had been purchased. She escaped on June 29 and returned to India via Lisbon, Madrid and Doha. The accused include four based in Pune and three in Portugal. The woman said her passport was taken and she was confined for two days. She also alleged the agency demanded another Rs 3 lakh after her return for a job in Malta.
