Assam Police Rescue Minors in a Cross-State Human Trafficking Operation, 3 Arrested
This incident follows a recent rescue in Guwahati's Maligaon area, where a young woman managed to escape from a red-light area in Kishanganj, Bihar.
In a major operation, Assam Police successfully dismantled an inter-state human trafficking racket, leading to the arrest of two individuals. The suspects, identified as Babul Ali and Basir Ahmed, were apprehended while attempting to traffick two minor girls from Tezpur. Additionally, a pharmacist based in Moirabari under Morigaon district has also been arrested in connection to the case.
The rescued minor girls, who were being transported across state lines for illegal purposes, are now under the care and protection of authorities. Preliminary investigations suggest they were victims of a larger trafficking network. Authorities are conducting further inquiries to uncover the extent of the operation and potential links to broader criminal networks.
