Muzaffarnagar (UP): They hadn't seen vegetables in months, their rotis were made of cattle feed and they could sleep for no more than two-three hours. And that was just a snippet of the lives of the 12 bonded labourers rescued from a factory who recalled in harrowing detail their months of captivity and torture.
The worker's account offers a glimpse into the conditions inside the factory in Mandi village, where labourers from several states alleged they were lured with promises of jobs and accommodation, only to find themselves trapped behind locked gates and forced to work under constant surveillance.
