Arsikere police, on Tuesday, rescued 55 bonded labourers, who were made to stay put in a shelter with no basic amenities at Annenahalli. The workers, who were from different places including Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, were forced to work in agriculture fields with no regular income and proper food.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of officials conducted the raid and rescued the labourers, who included 10 women. The workers were in tears as the officers reached the place and assured them that they would be released. Workers shared their torturous experience at the workplace with the police.
