Two Bangladeshi youths, Albir and Sakib, were rescued by a non-governmental organization in Bengaluru, India, after escaping from their employer who allegedly exploited them. The pair, who entered India illegally about 12 years ago, reported being coerced into various illegal activities, including thefts at temples and drug peddling. They were confined with approximately 70 others in a labor shed under constant surveillance. Albir claimed he suffered abuse, including a fractured leg, when he resisted these activities. The youths identified their employer, Yameen, as the leader of an organized trafficking racket, which reportedly included the sale of minor children and connections with local police through bribery. Following their rescue, the victims expressed a desire to return home and urged authorities to help others still detained. The case has been transferred to the Hulimavu police for a detailed investigation.
