Probe called into death of Indian maid at Oman airport

Rights group Amnesty International has called for a probe into the death of an Indian maid who was stranded at Muscat airport for five days.
Forty-year-old house maid Beebi Lumada reportedly became mentally stressed during her ordeal last week.
She died of a seizure while on her way to hospital on Friday.
Ms Lumada was travelling from Muscat to Madras on a Qatar Airways flight. But she lost her passport while in transit and was sent back to Oman.
Amnesty said that her case raised "serious concerns" that need to be investigated by Oman and the Indian embassy in Muscat.
Indian embassy officials in Oman have refused to speak to the BBC about the case. But in comments made to the local press, they have admitted to "lapses" in dealing with it.
