Bhubaneswar (SunstarTV Bureau): Actor Sabyasachi Mishra, as a Messiah for many in Odisha and outside, is once again in news for his generosity deeds.
With the help of Odisha police and Tamil Nadu counterpart, the actor has rescued 35 Odia migrants, who had been mentally and physically tortured by a middleman in the state since last few days.
The exploitation came to fore after one of the victims uploaded a video showing the middleman thrashing the Odia youth on Twitter tagging the actor. Immediately responding to the tweet, Sabyasachi contacted Tamil Nadu DGP JK Tripathi seeking help.
With joint efforts of Tamil Nadu police, Odisha police and Labour Department, the migrants were rescued from clutches of the middleman. The accused has also been arrested by the local police, sources said.
After being rescued, the youth narrated their plight before the cops. One Munna said 35 youth from Bhadrak district went to Tamil Nadu in search of work after the COVID-19 situation slightly improved few months ago.
