Becoming a victim of a group of overseas labour traffickers, Pulasthi Chanaka, a resident of Horana area, was sent to work in Oman on tourist visa after a payment of Rs. 1 million.
He said that he was taken to Oman and left stranded together with several other young men. He further revealed that many Sri Lankan youths who were trafficked are suffering in various parts of the country as they were sent to Oman with forged documents and visas.

In addition, he also requests assistance from someone to return to his homeland and +94 76 114 4227 is the phone number to reach Pulasti in Oman.
