Gulf News reported that 25 Indian laborers have fallen as victims of deception, after being flown from India to Ajman with promises of high pay. Some of the men had taken loans and others sold their lands in order to cover the cost of getting these jobs, which happened to be in Iraq, as some of them weren't aware of.
