ALLAHABAD: The Government Railway Police (GRP) on Friday claimed to have busted a human trafficking racket with the arrested of seven women from platform number 6 of Allahabad railway junction.The arrests were made when all the seven women had arrived at Allahabad railway junction from Mumbai Mail. The arrested women were identified as Reena of Dhanbad and Samina of Nasik besides Sita Bhandari, Samina Sheikh, Rizwana Sheikh, Sabeena Sheikh and Tamanna Sayeed from Mumbai. All these women had come to the city from Mumbai and were on their way to Kolkata. GRP officials said the kingpin of the racket, Sita Bhandari was taking these women to work in Kolkata's dance bars. The police became suspicious of the nature of the women's work when they found the latter indulging in obscene acts. Passengers traveling in Mumbai Mail too complained to GRP authorities about the behaviour of the women and asked them to take the women out of the compartment. The police subsequently interrogated and detained the women. A case under sections 294 and 504 of IPC has been registered in this connection. |
