Tribal Man Rescued After Alleged Captivity in Kerala Resort
Imagine a tribal man named Vellayan went to work at a resort in Kerala.
He was locked in a room and beaten by the owner and employees for six days.
He was only given one meal a day.
A person from the same community alerted activists and a local official, who then informed the police.
The police rescued Vellayan, who is now in the hospital.
