Mandya: A bonded labourer, who was working at a quarry in Hangarahalli in Srirangapatna taluk of Mandya district, has died at the quarry site yesterday and the villagers have suspected that the labourer has been murdered. The deceased is Kariyappa Maadar, a native of Obalapura village in Belagavi district, who was working at the quarry since a year.
Kariyappa, along with his wife Kakavva and his brother Mahadeva Maadar, had come from Obalapura village and was working at the quarry in Hangarahalli belonging to one Umesh. As they had taken Rs.70,000 from Umesh, they were allegedly made to work as bonded labourers.
