The family was made to stay in two rooms in Dairy and not allowed to send their children to school.

The family’s daily work includes caring for and milking 110 cows, including livestock spilled other than other housework.
Family’s daily mill began at 6am to 3pm and then starting at 4pm to midnight.
From 3pm to 4pm which should be a break, Jaseter tied with a shackle and every time he had to go outside then his family was not allowed to leave milk.
“Being a servant who is calling, Jasveer and his wife must make themselves available all the time to the employer”, said Dinesh.
