Indian laborer's hand cut off for asking for wages

In an instance of extraordinary brutality, a laborer's hand was chopped off by his employers infuriated over his seeking outstanding wages.


Lalman Yadav and his brother Uday Yadav, who run an illicit liquor business in Sikhnadi village in Jharkhand's Garhwa district, had hired Aliyar Rajwar (40) for supplying water to their production unit.

Rajwar was hired by the Yadav brothers at Rs 3,000 (£34, $55) per month. When he did not get his dues for three straight months, he approached the brothers for payment. But instead of giving Rajwar the Rs 9,000 they owed him, they first beat him up and then cut-off his hand with an axe.



The attack on Rajwar took place late on Sunday and the Yadav brothers have absconded, while their accomplice, a man called Ramchandra, has been arrested. Garhwa SP Michael Raj admitted that the incident was serious.
