Italian PM Meloni condemn Death Of Indian Farmer Satnam Singh

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday honoured Satnam Singh, an Indian farm worker who recently passed away after his employer left him on the road following a severe injury. “These are inhumane acts that do not belong to the Italian people. I hope this barbarity will be punished harshly,” she said. Addressing the Chamber of Deputies in Rome, Meloni asserted, “Gangmastering is a plague, far from being defeated, but we do not intend to stop fighting it.”

Tragic Death of Satnam Singh

Last week, Satnam Singh, an Indian farm worker employed illegally at a farm in Italy’s Lazio region, suffered a fatal accident while at work. According to reports, the 31-year-old’s arm was severed while he was operating a plastic wrapping machine at the farm owned by Antonello Lovato. Additionally, his legs were crushed in the accident.

Following the incident, Lovato allegedly loaded Singh into a van and abandoned him by the side of a road near his home, with his severed arm placed in a fruit crate. Singh’s wife, Sony, called for help, leading to his airlift to Rome. Unfortunately, Singh succumbed to his injuries two days later.
