Finally in August this year, after seven months of slavery and hardship, Brijesh was rescued when his father came to meet him to take him home as his ailing mother wanted to meet him. After getting angry with Brijesh's request to go home, Kanwar Chabra for hours together thrashed Brijesh. He was tied in ropes and was mercilessly beaten up to the extent that when he was rescued, he was not able to sit on his buttocks. After long struggle, concerned Police Station registered FIR against the relatives of Suresh and Kanwar Chabra. Department of Labour which generally feels helpless to rescue children engaged into domestic labour also initiated prosecution against the culprits. One of the culprits was booked and easily bailed out. Police could not nab others. Justice delayed is justice denied. Brijesh is still waiting for justice for law is so complex that poor one has to wait for years together to accused behind bars. He has forgotten to smile.
