‘Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai?’ Internet Outraged as Handcuffed & Leg-Shackled Labourer Seen Working in Delhi Market
A video circulating widely on social media has triggered public outrage after it showed a labourer carrying heavy loads while bound with metal shackles on both his hands and feet, allegedly in a busy market in Delhi. The clip, which has spread rapidly across platforms, has raised serious questions about labour rights, enforcement, and the state of human dignity in the national capital.
In the video, the man appears visibly exhausted as he lifts a heavy sack onto his head and navigates through a crowded marketplace. His wrists and ankles are restrained by metal chains, severely restricting his movement. Although the exact location is yet to be verified, vehicles seen in the background bear Delhi registration plates, leading many to believe the incident took place in one of the city’s bustling commercial areas.
The footage has sparked an outpouring of anger online, with users tagging Delhi Police and labour rights bodies while demanding immediate intervention. Many have termed the act a blatant violation of human rights and a potential case of bonded labour. Comments such as “Bhare bazaar mein ye ho raha hai, tum so rahe ho?” reflect the growing frustration among citizens.
The National Crime Investigation Bureau (NGO) also issued a statement after the video surfaced, saying, “A case has come to our attention where a person is being forced to work as a bonded labourer, with shackles on their hands and feet, through a viral video reportedly from Delhi.”
As the clip continues to garner attention, demands for swift official action are intensifying. So far, neither Delhi Police nor the government’s labour authorities have released a statement verifying the authenticity of the video or detailing any steps taken in the matter.
