Two Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses were revoked in Gilroy on Thursday following a 2020 investigation that uncovered human trafficking and slavery, investigators said.
Husband and wife Amarjit and Balwinder Mann, both 66, locked a man in their liquor store, where he worked 15-hour shifts seven days a week, slept in a storage room, bathed in a mop bucket and was never paid, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. They were arrested in November of 2020.

In addition to the labor human trafficking charges, the Mann’s face multiple Penal Code violations, including wage theft, conspiracy, witness intimidation, and failing to maintain workers' compensation insurance. The criminal case involves as many as four victims, reported law enforcement on Thursday.
The man who is believed to have been enslaved had come from India in 2019 expecting to travel to the U.S. with the couple. Instead, they took his money and passport and put him to work without pay or a key to leave the liquor store at night, reported the DA's office in November.

More low trust society bullshit imported into our formerly great country...
Mr. and Mrs. Mann? Lock ‘em up just for that.
All their money, property and assets should be divided among their slaves
“Amarjit and Balwinder”
Just bringing their exotic culture to America.../s
Slavery?
And the title focus is on ... license revocation?
That should be moot because decades-long incarceration.
Locked up in a liquor store and the poor fellow couldn’t figure out what to do?
That’s the real crime here.
Well, according to Biden we have to be culturally sensitive. Maybe enslaving people and making them work under those conditions is considered acceptable in India.
Right - as they have to tiptoe around Muslim sensitivities concerning women, homosexuals, polygamy, etc...
