Kolkata / asanso: Twenty-two girls aged between 13 and 17 – seven of them from Bihar’s Samastipur – saved by the State Children’s Rights Commission with two NGOs and state police from a brothel in Neamatpur on Wednesday night.
Twenty-five people, including PIMPs, the owner of a brothel and client, was arrested.
“Seven girls from Bihar were forced to be prostitution.
They mostly danced at local parties in Bihar and, during the Lean period, they had to work in a brothel’s house.
The rest of Bengal was mostly sold after being fenced off by work deals,” said Chakraborti West Bengal Commission for Children’s Rights Protection (WBCPCR).
The girls shifted to West Burdwan’s house and Bihar residents would then shift to the country, officials said.
Shakti Vahini and Bachhpan Bachao Andolan’s NGO official said the rescue operation had a special significance because it presented a reverse trade case.
“So far, we have seen how the girls from Bengal were driven into slavery on behalf of the show at the wedding and bar dances in Bihar, and most of them were then pushed into sex rackets.
But now, with most of the victims found from Bihar, It shows that human trafficking will not follow the pattern set where most of the population in financial pressure is in depth, “Rishikant said, who worked with the survivors.
