"human-trafficking"

Acting on a tip-off, the police raided the accused woman's flat on Tuesday evening and arrested her, the official from the city police's anti-human trafficking cell said.

As women and children were most vulnerable to trafficking, he requested the RPF to have special attention on identifying and rescuing victims and nabbing the culprits.

The 46-year-old Satish Kartan and his wife Sharmistha Barai (40) were found guilty of conspiracy to obtain forced labour and two counts of obtaining forced labour by a federal grand jury on March 14, 2019.

The detainees Rajnesh Ranjan and Sukesh allegedly procured women from Mumbai by exploiting their poverty and forced them into flesh trade

The arrested persons were U. Yadaiah and his wife U. Chittamma and Rahul, all three organisers, while one customer, Bhaskar, too was arrested.
