HYDERABAD: A video circulating on social media platforms has brought attention to the Nizamabad district police, where officers allegedly handcuffed a man and compelled him to perform cleaning duties within the station premises. The incident reportedly occurred at the Bodhan police station.
Allegations of Forced Labor
In the video, a man is seen with heavy chains shackled to his legs, sweeping the floors of the police station. The circumstances leading to this incident remain unclear, and further details are awaited. Typically, individuals accused of crimes are arrested and placed in holding cells at the station before being presented in court and possibly remanded. The judiciary then determines any punitive measures. However, there have been recurring allegations that individuals arrested for minor offenses are sometimes retained at police stations and subjected to forced labor.
