A former domestic worker for the consul general
of Bangladesh has sued him and his wife in New
York, saying he was lured to America with false
promises of $3,000 monthly wages and then was
forced to work in oppressive conditions.
Mashud Parves Rana filed the lawsuit on Friday
in Manhattan federal court.
The lawsuit said Consul General Monirul Islam
and his wife, Fahima Tahsina Prova, forced Mr.
Rana to work 17-hour days without a day off for
more than 18 months. Mr. Rana alleged the
couple wouldn’t let him leave their two
Manhattan homes and threatened to beat him or
kill him if he left.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
