15 children rescued, trafficker arrested at Ranchi airport

RANCHI: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on Thursday rescued 15 children, including a girl, while they were being trafficked from the state to New Delhi by a flight from the Birsa Munda International Airport here and arrested the trafficker.
The children have been handed over to the anti-human trafficking unit (AHTU) Ranchi for further action.
Police registered a case under sections 363 and 370 of the IPC against the trafficker, Raju Ganjhu.
Ganjhu along with his wife, three children and the rescued minors, was scheduled to board a flight to New Delhi when they were stopped by the CISF personnel.
Sources said the CISF personnel at the airport grew suspicious when they noticed a large number of children entering the airport premises.
After checking their Aadhaar cards, the personnel found that all of them were minors.
The CISF crime wing intervened and questioned Ganjhu and the others accompanying him but did not get a satisfactory reply.
Later, they were handed over to the police.
AHTU officer Babita Kumari said, “Ganjhu, who is working in Srinagar, was taking along 15 children for work.
The minors belonged to Chandwa in Latehar and Simaria in Chatra district.
A case has been registered against Ganjhu and the rescued children would be produced before the child welfare committee soon.” Sanjay Mishra, secretary of the Bal Kalyan Sangh (BKS), said, “We are gathering information about the rescued children.
The deputy commissioners concerned would be asked to register cases against the middlemen responsible for the trafficking.
Steps for providing benefits of welfare schemes to the children would be taken.” It may be stated here that the BKS runs the state resource centre, which is looking after the immediate needs of victims of trafficking.
