Haryana GRP Arrests Man in Child Labour Case
The Haryana Government Railway Police (GRP) recently arrested a man named Anil Kumar who was accused of forcing a young boy from Bihar to work as a bonded labourer.
The boy was lured with a job at a dairy farm and a salary of Rs 10,000 a month.
Instead, he was subjected to two months of forced labour and physical abuse.
The boy got his arm cut off in a machine while working and fled the farm.
He walked 150 km to reach Nuh, where a teacher rescued him and informed the police.
The police conducted a four-month investigation across three states, involving over 200 km of search operations.
They used technical surveillance and mapped train routes to find the accused.
The police were praised for their hard work in catching the accused, but the Haryana State Human Rights Commission criticized the slow pace of the investigation.
Anil Kumar was arrested for forcing a minor boy from Bihar into bonded labour, resulting in the boy's arm being severed.
The incident was reported in June 2025, leading to a four-month investigation involving over 200 km of search operations across three states.
The police acted under the Child Labour Act and other relevant legal sections.
The Haryana State Human Rights Commission criticized the police for the slow pace of the investigation.
The case highlights the enforcement of laws against child labour and the consequences of such exploitation.
