A woman from Andhra Pradesh, who moved to Kuwait for work, has alleged severe physical and mental abuse by her employer.

In a video appeal, Kavita from Annamayya district pleaded with Andhra Pradesh Minister Ram Prasad Reddy for help.

She said, "Please save me, sir. I am being tortured here. I have two children and a disabled husband. I came to Kuwait for their sake (family), but I am being subjected to injustice here."
