QILA DIDAR SINGH - The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested an agent for allegedly subjecting a man to forced labour in Turkey on the pretext of sending him to Greece on Saturday.
According to the FIA, Jahangir Sansi, local agent at Gujranwala, had received Rs250,000 from Hamza, 20, and promised to send him to Greece through Turkey.
He managed to send Hamza to Turkey where his brother Sufyan alias Shani sheltered him.
He subjected Hamza to forced labour for one-and-a-half-year but never gave him salary. Resultantly, Hamza fell seriously ill and was hospitalised. Sa'iqa Begum, Hamza's mother, submitted a complaint to the FIA against agent Jahangir.
The complaint was responded with immediate arrest of the agent. Sufyan released Hamza after publication of news story in the country's press. He returned Pakistan the other night and was taken into custody by the FIA.
His mother, Sa'iqa Begum, sought the government's help for treatment of her seriously ill son.
