There have been allegations that some high-caste Indian immigrants bring untouchables/Dalits to the USA and enslave them. Jared Taylor recently made a video about this.
Now, three Indian immigrants in Defiance, MO, have been charged with crimes. This is a tiny village on the outskirts of the St. Louis metro area.
Authorities say Venkatesh R. Sattaru brought a twenty-year-old to the USA against his will and forced him to work for his business. The victim was kept in a locked, unfinished basement.
Sravanvarma Penumetcha and Nikhil V. Penmatsa allegedly beat the 20-year-old victim with PVC pipes, hoses, sticks, and electrical wire. When the victim was rescued, he had scars, bruises, and swelling all over his body.
Sattaru has been charged with trafficking for slavery, involuntary servitude or forced labor, contributing to human trafficking, first-degree assault, armed criminal action, kidnapping, and abuse through forced labor. Penumetcha and Penmatsa are charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action, kidnapping, abuse through forced labor, and assault.
The victim told prosecutors that Sattaru is wealthy and powerful in India.
All three are being held without bond. Prosecutors are scheduled to hold a press conference later today.
