London: High Commission of India in the United Kingdom reached out to the students who were believed to be trapped in modern slavery. Reacting to a report by the United Kingdom's government agency for labour exploitation, the Indian High Commissioner asked the victims to reach out to them for help and counselling. "We were concerned to read this news. Indian students who have suffered this, please contact us at pol3.london@mea.gov.in, and we will provide help/counselling. We assure you of confidentiality in our response," the Indian High Commission tweeted. Nearly 50 students victims of modern slavery: GLAA Investigators from Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) in its probe identified "more than 50 Indian students as being potential victims of modern slavery and labour abuse over the last 14 months" while working at care homes in North Wales. The investigative agency got a court order against five people of Indian origin who abused these 50 students. GLAA was granted a Slavery and Trafficking Risk Order (STRO) indefinitely against the defendants at Mold Magistrates' Court last week.
