Mumbai police have arrested two ‘godmen’ for allegedly torturing 28 children and holding them captive in a house in the western suburb of Kandivali.
The bungalow is located in Thakur Village and was covered by a green cloth from outside, the officer said.
The boys were brought to Mumbai three months ago under some pretext and held captive, the police officer said.
The boys hail from Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Chhattisgarh, and were rescued on Friday, he said.
A case has been filed under provisions of the Child Labour Act and sections 420 (cheating), 370 (buying a person as a slave), 323 and 324 (assault) of IPC.
