RAVLEEN KAUR talks to three donors, Rajendra Kumar, Shahid and Dileep, who were duped by Amit Kumar. They were rescued from a flat in Faridabad on February 8. Rajendra Kumar did most of the talking

How did you come into contact with Amit Kumar?

We met a person at the Old Delhi Railway Station who took us to a Faridabad guesthouse to work as cooks. We were told the guesthouse was frequented by foreigners very finicky about health matters. So we were asked to undergo medical tests. But no sooner were the tests conducted we fell unconscious. I saw Amit Kumar and one Vicky before falling unconscious. I woke up with severe abdominal pain.

Were you offered any money?

They did tell us that we would be paid some money. But did not say how much exactly. We were threatened with dire consequences if we opened our mouths.But before they could talk any further, the police raided the guesthouse and everybody, including the guard, fled.

How did you contact the police?

On February 7, there was nobody in the house and we were dying of hunger. We decided to get out of the house. Walking was difficult. But we somehow managed to get to a phone booth and call the police control room. And that is how, we were rescued.
