Two Bonded Labourers Rescued in Beed; Search Continues for Five Others
In Beed district's Wadwani tehsil, two bonded labourers were rescued from a cowshed where they were allegedly held captive, assaulted, and forced to work 14-15 hours daily for two months. The rescue was conducted by the District Legal Services Authority and local administration despite challenges like power cuts and no police presence. Five other workers remain missing after reportedly being moved by the cowshed owner. A case under the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act has been registered against the owner, and the rescued individuals are receiving medical treatment.
