Mysore cops to probe into Bangladeshi girl case
MYSORE: Two weeks after the rescue of a 16-year-old Bangladeshi girl, the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has requested police to investigate the case.
CWC members, who met on Saturday, decided to urge city police to probe the matter as some persons, claiming to be her relatives, are approaching them with "fake documents" seeking her custody. The committee, which has rejected their petitions, has asked them to bring her parents. They are claiming that the girl is not a Bangladeshi, but a resident of West Bengal. However, they have failed to corroborate their claim with proper documents.
The girl was rescued by Special Juvenile Protection Unit in November when she was standing on a pavement in the heart of the city. During counselling, the girl has revealed that she is a Bangladeshi. The girl is now in CWC custody.
CWC member L Parashuram told STOI that this is not the first case wherein a minor Bangladeshi girl was rescued by them. Earlier, two girls under similar circumstances were rescued in Mysore. "We are suspecting the girl may have been trafficked for sex trade. So we have asked police to investigate," he added.
When contacted, city police chief M A Saleem said he, after receiving a petition from CWC, has asked Lashkar police to probe the matter and submit a report.
Training to rescued children
The CWC on Saturday decided to give entrepreneurial training to child victims of trafficking, who are now inmates of government homes.
CWC member L Parashuram said that about eight children, in 16-18 age group, will be given training in beautician course, tailoring and in food-processing.
The training will be given at Odanadi Seva Samsthe, which is working for the welfare of sex workers and their children. source

Hailing from Rabarkandi in Bajitpur, they were all praise for the 30-something man who saved them, and cursed Mohammed Akhtar Iraqi, the man who allegedly sold them to agents, for forcing them into flesh trade. When dna spoke to them, in broken Hindi they narrated the torture and trauma they went through in the last few months.
“We were told that we would be given jobs in Mumbai. We had heard a lot about the big city and had also paid Rs5,000 to the agent who brought us into India from the Bangladesh border. Later, we were taken by train to Kurla and resided in the slums there. We were also kept at Kamathipura and then brought to Nalasopara and given rooms there,” said the 16-year-old girl, trying to let it sink in that she had finally been rescued.
“Later, I was told to go with a very old man. I went with him to a shanty, where he started taking my clothes off. I restrained him but he called Iraqi who assaulted me and asked me to obey the old man. The old man sexually exploited me. Soon after, I came across several other young girls like me, all from Bangladesh, who too were involved in flesh trade.”
Talking about her ordeal, the 17-year-old girl said, “I wanted to get away from all this filth, I wanted to go back and play with my friends. But if I refused to comply with the orders, I was not given food and was beaten up. One day, a customer hit me on my right eye after I refused to sleep with him.”
“After several months, we came to know that we had been sold to Iraqi for Rs50,000 each. We came across several men to whom we pleaded to save us but no one helped. We both suffered a lot of pain. But we also became good friends in these months and we are thankful to the police for rescuing us,” she added.
Even as an NGO member counselled them, highlighting the fact that they were free now and would be with their parents soon, the 16-year-old said, “We want to go back home and live a life of dignity, we don’t want to enter this world. But I feel sad for the other women from Bangladesh who are trapped in this trade and have now become dependent on it for money.”

Teenagers rescued from traffickers in Nepal
ANANYA DUTTA
Twenty-five teenagers from Nepal, who were being taken to Sikkim by a group of traffickers, were recently rescued by the police from the highway in the Matigara Thana area in Darjeeling district, police officials told The Hindu on Friday.
“We had received information on a possible case of trafficking, and so the bus in which these boys were being taken was intercepted. In the raid, we found 25 boys from Nepal being taken to Gangtok by three traffickers,” Kunal Agarwal, the Superintendent of Police of Darjeeling district, told The Hindu on the telephone.
The police haven't been able to ascertain what work the boys were going to be assigned, but the children revealed that their parents had been assured that they would be given jobs. The boys didn't even know where they were being taken. They had taken the bus at Panitanki, near the India-Nepal border, Mr. Agarwal said. They were aged between 14 and 18 years. Among the group of 25 boys, six were more than 18 years old, but they were all very young, he added. They were rescued on Wednesday.
“The three persons accompanying them claim to run a placement agency, for which they had recruited them. All three of them are Bengalis. We are trying to find out the remaining persons who may have been involved in the operations,” Mr. Agarwal said.
Mr. Agarwal said that while the region acts as a corridor for human trafficking to all parts of the country, finding so many victims in a single raid was a major success.
“We are working with the West Bengal police to see if we can find out the operatives of this gang in Sikkim,” said Jasbir Singh, the Director General of Police of Sikkim.
Mr. Singh said that the Sikkim police frequently come across cases of girls from the State being trafficked to different parts of the country. The police also often conduct raids on places that recruit minors, but such a case of children being trafficked into the State was less common.

‘B’deshi girls trafficked under honeymoon cover’
Dhaka: Human traffickers in Bangladesh have found an innovative method of smuggling out young women into India under which the girls along with their pimps are shown as honeymooners to cross the border "legally", said the chief of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) on Saturday.
BGB Director General Maj Gen Anwar Hussain said they have rescued around 70 women and children along the Indo-Bangla borders from human traffickers in the past three months.
He said the girls were often trafficked into India in the guise of honeymooners.
"Traffickers are changing their tactics and routes, while poor girls and women are falling prey to human traders who allure people with lucrative job offers abroad," Hussain told national news agency BSS on the sidelines of the launching national plan of action to combat trafficking for 2012-2014.
The chief of paramilitary border guard said the BGB has identified nine other means of human trafficking from Bangladesh that included fake offer for tourism, fake job offer, domestic violence and fake marriage.
"The saddest part of the trafficking was that much of the rescued girls or young women cooperate the traffickers to cross the border expecting a better life," Hussain told the function also joined by Home Minister Sahara Khatun, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, Overseas Employment Minister Khandoker Mosharraf Hossain and Prime Minister's foreign affairs advisor Gowher Rizvi.
No official statistics were available to assess the number of women trafficking victims but the Home Ministry officials feared the figure could range between 100,000 to 200,500 every year.
Home Ministry's additional secretary Kamal Uddin said the human trafficking involved a turnover of USD 13.6 billion per year globally and it ranked third after dug and arms smuggling.
Bangladesh is generally a source country for trafficking of women, children and men. Thousands of people are trafficked every year, mainly in the form of fraudulent recruitment for overseas jobs.
The new national plan of action against human trafficking seeks to address weaknesses of previous plans as a follow up of government's enactment of the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Ordinance of 2011.

Human trafficker nabbed in Guwahati, 8 girls rescued
Guwahati: The Government Railway Police (GRP) on Saturday nabbed a human trafficker and rescued eight girls from her clutches here.
Sources in the GRP said the eight girls were rescued from the Guwahati railway station and the woman trying to take the girls away from Assam was arrested.
"The girls were told that they would be given jobs in some spice factories in Kerala. The woman had brought the girls to Guwahati from Jonai in Dhemaji district of Assam. However, when we inquired, the woman could not give any proof that the girls would be given employment in Kerala," sources informed.
"We contacted our counterpart in Dhemaji and were informed that the same woman had previously taken some other girls away from the remote areas of the district to unknown destinations by giving them hopes of employment. Those girls have, however, never returned to their families," said the sources.
Investigation is on to find out more details about the human traffickers' involvement in the incident and their network in the state, police added.
