Indian Couple Punished for Slavery in New York

India-born millionaire couple in New York was convicted of keeping two Indonesian women slaves for four years, often beating, starving and hiding them in their million dollar mansion that has seven bathrooms, according to BBC and Times of India. The woman received 11 years and prison and $25,000 fine.

This case is similar to those women in India tortured by husbands and families for dowry. But who could imagine a case of slavery could happen in the most modern city of the world?
