ROBBINSVILLE Construction at the site of one of the world s largest Hindu temples on a sprawling property in Mercer County has been halted, amid an FBI raid and accusations of forced labor and slave-like wages involving Indian nationals.
“Violations at the BAPS temple are horrific, unfathomable,” Gov. Phil Murphy said at Wednesday s state briefing, when asked about the class-action lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday.
He continued it would be just awful if all of the violations and accused actions turned out to be validated.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court on behalf of nearly 200 men from India who say they were brought to the U.S. between 2018 and 2020, and paid $1.20 an hour for menial construction work.
