A lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday alleges the builders of a New Jersey Hindu temple considered to be one the largest in the United States lured workers from India, worked them nearly 90 hours per week and paid them around $1.20 per hour.
One worker, the lawsuit claims, died from forced labor.
The allegations were made against Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, a Hindu sect known as BAPS, and the leaders who run the Robbinsville temple and its construction. The temple opened in 2014 and is constructed entirely of Italian marble that was sculpted in India and completed on site off Route 130 in Robbinsville.

Quote from the interview: “We think that health care equity is critical. We think that everybody has the right to health care; that it is a human right. Everybody has the right to have a nurse when that patient needs a nurse and we are very committed to that. It is a beautiful profession and it is an honor to be a nurse. There is nothing like it so I highly recommend it for people who are interested in caring for people.,” Gonzalez said.
