A 15-year-old boy from Bihar’s Kishanganj district, who allegedly fled from forced labour in Haryana by walking over 150 km with a severed arm, is now undergoing treatment at PGIMS in Rohtak. His family, struggling financially, is pleading for immediate monetary support.
The teenager was reportedly lured with a ₹10,000/month job at a dairy in Jind district, Haryana. According to him, once he arrived, he was locked in a room, denied food and wages, and forced to work. His injury occurred while operating a motorised fodder chopper. After the accident, he was allegedly drugged and left unconscious.
He later woke up in a dispensary with a small amount of money, which he lost along with his clothes after falling asleep again. A staff member then told him to leave. Alone and without resources, he began walking back to Bihar—a journey of nearly 1,000 kilometres.
Two schoolteachers found him near Tauru in Nuh district and alerted police. He was provided food and taken for medical care. His family, daily wage workers in Kaithal, rushed to Nuh and took him to PGIMS, where doctors amputated his arm at the elbow. He is now in stable condition.
The Nuh police considered registering a zero FIR, but the family chose not to proceed, citing urgent financial difficulties. An NGO is assisting and pushing for a formal case, but the family’s focus remains on hospital discharge and securing funds for the boy’s recovery.
