Baghpat

Baghpat: Nearly 60 workers, including children, trapped in bonded labour. Johny escaped, but officials failed to free other families citing paperwork. A tale of apathy and abuse.

Baghpat Bonded Labourers: 18 workers rescued from a brick kiln in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh faced violence during a botched rescue operation, only to be abandoned by officials. They struggle for release orders amid systemic failure.

Baghpat has a low sex ratio, and women from other states--many who are trafficked--are married off to men here, face several forms of abuse.
