With the arrest of three persons, the west district police claimed to have busted a gang involved in trafficking of young women. The accused, including and a woman and her son, used to lure their victims by promising them jobs. Following the arrest, three women were rescued from Delhi and Haryana.
The accused have been identified as Sanjay (33), Vinod Mandal (23) and Savitri Devi (55).
On August 22, one Anita Devi, a resident of Nangloi had lodged a missing report about her 23-year-old daughter Manju who had gone to meet one Sunil for employment on August 16 but didn't return home. Anita complained that she received a call on her mobile phone, saying that her daughter was safe and would come back after sometime. She was also threatened not to report the matter to police or would face dire consequences,'' said DCP (west) Sharad Aggarwal.
"A secret source told us that one Sunil Jha along with his brother Sanjay run a placement agency in Nangloi. It was also revealed that they were selling girls to agents in neighbouring states by promising them jobs as maid servants for the past one year,'' said the officer.
Subsequently, raids were conducted in Delhi and Haryana and Manju, along with two other girls, were rescued.
According to the police, the girls were brought to the capital through agents from states like Orissa, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar. Sunil used to negotiate deals with their associates in Rohtak in Haryana. Once the deal was struck and money was received, they used to hand over the girls to other accused. Girls were then sold off for second time from Rohtak to various parts of Haryana.
A case of trafficking and wrongful confinement was lodged against the three accused.
