Illicit liquor trade is thriving in Hyderabad. Gudamba mafia, to throw dust into the eyes of law, is employing innocent Muslim children in the Gudamba business. This has been revealed during a meeting with an official of department of excise and prohibition. It was also revealed that such gangs of gudamba sellers are active in the city which earns lakhs daily.
We met inspector excise and prohibition K Bharat Bhushan to acknowledge him about the grave matter. We were shocked to learn from Bharat Bhushan that there is a 12 year old boy Saddam Husain in his custody who was employed by Gudamba sellers.
Saddam told that his father left him 2 years ago and his mother married to another man, thus there is no one to look after him. When a Gudamba seller Bandi Srinu knew that he is all alone he employed him into this business. He said he is in the business for nearly 2 years and sells 1500 packets daily and gives a profit of Rs 9000 to his boss, while he gets just Rs 150 for this. He also revealed that many young boys like him work for Bandi Srinu. He also told that Bandi Srinu forces them to work for him; he beats them and tortures them sometimes by injuring them through blades and sometimes by burning them with lighted cigarettes. He had 25-30 cuts of blade all over his body. He also revealed that the boys are made to wear dresses as that of school uniform so as to avoid suspicion.
Inspector Bharat Bhushan told that Gudamba mafia is employing innocent children because anti social elements know very well that innocent children, even if they caught, are not punished; they are released after counseling.
