Police recover Indonesian woman in Hyderabad, hand her over to consulate

HYDERABAD: Indonesian national Indah Marlyan, who claimed to be a victim of domestic violence, was recently rescued by police and delivered to her consulate under judicial supervision.

The incident came to light after the women development department submitted an application on August 8, citing threats and assault against the woman.
