Curiosity doesn't always kill the cat, proved a sympathetic police officer whose further digging into a case helped a 25-year-old Bangladeshi woman, forced into prostitution in Mumbai, shed the tag of illegal immigrant. She would soon return home to her family. 

The woman, identified as Salma, hails from Golimari village in Bangladesh. Tired of living in constant poverty and regular fights with her husband, one day she left him and went to live with her mother. There she met one Lalchand Hawaldar, who promised her a house help job in a big city and a handsome salary. She readily agreed, took her three-year-old son and left with Hawaldar, 29, without informing her mother.
