A local man named Hori convinced my mother that he would find an office job for me in Kolkata. My salary would be 3000 rupees. I did not agree to go but my mother was adamant to send me. I told my mother that he could sell me in Kolkata. My mother replied: "He is not that kind of man". I came with Hori and he sold me in Khidderpore (Watgonj) for 20,000 rupees.
