The labourers hail from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
Rajkot: A container carrying 72 labourers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh was seized and the driver and the cleaner were arrested at Nari Chowkadi near Vartej on the outskirts of Bhavnagar on Saturday night.
Police said the accused, identified as Kamlesh Paswan (25), the driver, and Satyendra Nishad (20), the cleaner, had collected the labourers from Chitra GIDC in Bhavnagar.
“Paswan said that he had driven to Ahmedabad from Lucknow to take medicine supplies. However, when the order was cancelled, he called up the owner of the container, Jyoti, who asked him to load labourers from Bhavnagar and travel back to Lucknow,” said R V Bhimani, sub-inspector with Vartej police station.
Paswan told the cops that Jyoti knew that there were a large number of labourers who wanted to go back to their native places in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Thus, he told Paswan to ferry them to Lucknow in the container.
