New Delhi:
Kaleemullah, the man who employed Moin and three other minors in a bindi-manufacturing unit in Bharat Nagar in northwest Delhi, was arrested late Wednesday night.
On Thursday, 34 child labourers were rescued during the raids, police said.
Ten-year-old Moin Khan was brutally beaten to death, allegedly by his own uncle and employer, Kaleemuallh.
He had come to to Delhi along with his brother to work at a bindi factory. Their father, a factory worker, is still in Mumbai.
At the bindi factory, the brothers' little fingers were used to do the decorative fine work.
Activists working for the abolition of child labour tell NDTV that the Indian decorative products industry employing child labour is worth $ 600 million. To keep costs down, small units employ children who work in miserable conditions.
