Missing maid found in India

A housemaid, who was said to have vanished after being detained at Bahrain International Airport, is now back home in India, officials said yesterday.
Indian M T Khadeeja was taken to the airport by her sponsor on January 29 to be flown out of the country.
However, she was handed over to the airport authorities after she claimed she had not been paid for the last 10 months by her sponsor until the matter is resolved.
Khadeeja was due to leave by a Sri Lankan Airlines flight to Calicut, Kerala.
However, on February 3 and again on February 14, the immigration, Civil Aviation, the airline and the Indian Embassy said they had no information about the woman after she was handed over to airport authorities.
However, it emerged yesterday that she had already left Bahrain on February 4. An Indian Embassy official told the GDN that they had found out that Khadeeja has already left the country. The booking was made in the name "Mohammed", who could be her sponsor, he said.
