They also threatened them if they would do anything against their command the following 16 person life will be ended forever. When finally Mr. Samad took action and bit them on the boat to send them to India, hearing of their shouts and cry some people who were law enforcers came and rescued 16 people who are also my son Mr. A and admitted them to the nearest Health Complex and they are under treatment.
