Lucknow: The Bijnor police have busted a human trafficking racket and arrested seven persons who smuggled children from Jharkhand and sold them in Uttar Pradesh. A total of 24 persons, including 12 being smuggled from Jharkhand, have been recovered from their possession. The police have registered a case against the accused and started a process to send them to jail.
According to Superintendent of Police City Dr Praveen Ranjan, a team of anti-human trafficking unit and child protection officer had received information late last night that an inter-state human trafficking gang was smuggling some children and people from Jharkhand to Bijnor. Based on this information, police teams were deployed behind this gang. These police teams intercepted a pick-up car from the front of Krishna College on Noorpur Road late last night, inside which 27 people, including 12 children, were present. The police seized the pick-up van and brought it to the police station and when questioned, it was found that the main members of the gang were Dayaram Sahu, Ajay Kumar Yadav and Harendra Kumar, both residents of Jharkhand, among others.
Interrogation revealed that Satyendra Tyagi, Shobhit Tyagi, Kapil Tyagi and Atul Tyagi of Bijnor are also involved in the smuggling. These people bring poor children from Jharkhand with them on the pretext of getting them jobs or roaming around and bringing them here and selling them to big moneylenders. The gang members had left Jharkhand with these children on the 27th. At the moment, the police are trying to find out to whom these people were supposed to sell the children and how many children they have sold so far.
