12 bonded labourers rescued from UP factory allege torture, confinement

Twelve bonded labourers, including minors, were rescued from a factory in Muzaffarnagar after enduring months of captivity and torture. Lured with job promises, they faced inhumane conditions, including being fed cattle feed, sleeping only a few hours, and enduring beatings. Visible injuries and accounts of intimidation highlight the harrowing ordeal, with one worker allegedly dying from torture. Authorities are now working on rehabilitation and reuniting the survivors with their families.
