The Indian embassy in Washington is in the process of finalising a detailed report on the issue of over 100 Indian workers in a Mississippi shipyard, who revolted against their employer for their alleged "slave-like treatment" after being "tricked" into coming to the US.
"The Ambassador (Ronen Sen) took the initiative of sending senior officers from the Embassy and the Consulate General (in Houston). They returned last night (Thursday)" the Minister in Charge of Media Relations, Rahul Chabra, said.
"They are in the process of preparing a detailed report together with relevant documents which is expected to be submitted to the Ambassador on Saturday (today)," Chabra added.
More than 100 Indian workers quit their job in a Mississippi shipyard and sued the employer demanding "tens of millions of dollars" in damages for allegedly bringing them to the US on a false promise of permanent residency and forcing them to work under inhuman conditions.
