Hyderabad: As many as 20 children who were forced to work as child labourers in hazardous industries were arrested under Moghalpura police station limits late on Thursday night. "22 children in the age group of 5-13 years, who were forced to work in leather and bangle units at Sultanshai area were rescued last night," Deputy Commissioner of Police V Satyanarayana said. "Two persons who had employed them were taken into custody and efforts are on to nab the other accused who forced these minors into child labour," the DCP said.
During preliminary inquiry it came to light that some of the persons hid these children all these days at different locations here fearing police raids, the DCP said. "They started employing them again and we got information of the same and raided such units and rescued the children," he added. The children are from Bihar, Jharkhand, UP and West Bengal.

The police took into custody a few brokers and employers for exploiting the children and criminal cases are being registered against them. Currently, the rescued children are accommodated at Saidabad Juvenile Home till their parents or government officials from their states come to collect them, the officials said.
