Ghaziabad: Additional Chief Justice Judge (Railway) Aligarh Aishwarya Pratap Singh on Thursday rejected the Eight Guarantee Petition accused in two separate child trafficking cases.
In the first case, four men were arrested when they took 15 children to Delhi and Punjab in Kamakhya North East Express.
All children under 14 years old.
Defendant – MD Saddam, Premapl, Jameel Akhtar and Vinod Singh – ordered under Section 370 (Child Trafficking), 374 (labor must violate the law) IPC, the relevant part of the Law of Child Laws and Adolescent Justice Act.
The victims in this case belonged to Bulandshahr and Katihar.
Children told the police that the defendant took him to Delhi and Punjab to “work”.
The gang is used to target children from poor families and captivate them by offering money, police said.
They will then bring children to Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab and other places.
While rejecting the request, Singh said children were “very important national assets” and the future of the nation depending on them.
In the second case, four were accused of being arrested when they traveled to Delhi on the Northeast train with eight minors from Bihar and West Bengal.
The police said this accusation uses the same modus operandi as in other cases.
The judge rejected the guarantee by citing the seriousness of violations, “who not only opposed the individual but the wider community”.
