In a major breakthrough, Haridwar police has arrested three persons including the main accused of human trafficking gang who were operating from the national capital Delhi. They had been in the sex racket business for the past many years and had sold many girls earlier, police said. All the three accused are residents of Delhi.
The matter surfaced when an 11 year old minor girl was rescued from Jagjeetpur village of Haridwar by the district police and sex racket operator Urmila was arrested on May 22. The police has taken the accused on remand for further investigation and a big catch is anticipated soon.
The arrested accused hailed from Mandawali area of Delhi and have been identified as Sunil Singh, resident of Gola bazaar, district Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, Javed Ansari of district Mujaffarpur in Bihar and Saleem of district Hadia in Bihar.
During investigation it was revealed that girl’s parents are native of Nalanda district of Bihar and worked at brick kilns in Hissar district of Haryana. Around one month ago she and her 13 year old cousin sister had reached Delhi railway station for going to Bihar where the arrested accused Sunil met them.
Revealing the case SP city Mamta Vohra said, “All the accused are drivers by profession and used to lure the minor girls who are alone and looked in trouble at public places. On the destined day Sunil met both the girls saying that the train was delayed and brought the girls to his house assuring them to catch the train next morning. Both the girls were forced into prostitution. After some days, he took them to Haridwar where he tried to sell the girls to one Urmila of Raja garden but Urmila bought only 11 year old girl refusing the other who was later brought back to Delhi and sold.” The parents of the minor rescued girl have been located and the police handed over the girl who was sent to child welfare centre in Dehradun. During interrogation it was revealed that Sunil had sold some other girl to Urmila five years ago.
