The recruiting agencies named in the cases are: Aakash Vromon, Winner Oversees, Shahin Travels, Navira Ltd, Adib Air Travels and Tours, United Manpower Consultancy Ltd, Greenland Oversees, PR Oversees Ltd, Jaharat Associated Ltd, Apurba Requiring Agency, M/S Jannat Oversees, Midway Oversees Ltd, and South Point Oversees Ltd…
