This is very sad and no surprise really.
In reality, this situation is throughout the country. Most end up with an indian family businesses. A single guy would say start working for a small family that owns a shop.They would give him accomadation and basic meals, with very little money. It works economically for the family and that is just how they see it.
Some of them feel that they are doing a big favour-they are, but only because its financially beneficial (cheaper than employing legally)
Most of these men are too embarassed to go back, even if they could.
A few years ago, the criminal gangs would make between 5-7 thousand pounds per person.
The individual pays anything upto 10,000 in £ uk pounds back in India, then end up with nowhere to go after following the false promises.
Sadly, there are a lot of intelligent punjabis that have sacrificed decent careers back home and ended up like this.
