In a disturbing case that’s sending shockwaves across the nation, Hindustan Power Links, a company based in kerala, stands accused of subjecting its employees to degrading and inhumane treatment—drawing sharp comparisons to modern-day slavery.
According to multiple employee testimonies, workers who failed to meet aggressive sales targets were allegedly punished in ways that defy logic, dignity, and basic human rights. The alleged abuses include being forced to crawl on the floor, lick spit, and even bark like dogs—all under the watchful eye of company authorities.
Worse still, these humiliating punishments were reportedly handed down to employees earning a meager Rs 6,000 to Rs 8,000 per month, sparking outrage over exploitative labor practices disguised as employment.
The revelations came to light after a series of videos and first-hand accounts began circulating online, prompting public outcry and demands for accountability. As the backlash intensifies, the Kerala government has launched a formal probe into the allegations. State Labor minister [Name] confirmed that an investigative team has been deployed to verify the claims and determine the extent of the abuse.
“This is not just a violation of labor laws—it is a violation of basic human decency,” one legal expert commented. “If proven, this amounts to psychological torture and forced servitude.”
Meanwhile, Hindustan Power Links has yet to issue a clear statement addressing the allegations. Sources within the company suggest internal meetings are underway, as management scrambles to contain the fallout.
Labor unions and human rights groups have demanded swift action, calling the incident a “blatant reminder of the unchecked exploitation within certain sectors of India’s private workforce.”
Social media has erupted in anger, with hashtags like #ModernDaySlavery and #JusticeForEmployees trending nationwide. Citizens and activists are urging the government to not just penalize the firm if found guilty, but to also bring in stronger labor protections to prevent such cruelty from becoming the norm.
As investigations proceed, all eyes are now on the authorities to deliver justice—and send a clear message that no job, however small, deserves humiliation.
