In a unique incident, one of the customers at a brothel in Bihar’s Sitamarhi district reached out to Bachpan Bachao Andolan’s (BBA) helpline number to share information about the sexual exploitation of a minor. A 15-year-old girl was being forced into commercial sexual exploitation in a red light area by her abusive employers.

Upon learning the girl is a minor, the customer reached out to BBA seeking their assistance in saving the girl from ruthless exploitation.

Launching prompt action in the matter, BBA collaborated with the local Police and the District Administration to plan and execute a raid and rescue operation in the area. Our team successfully rescued the minor girl. The rescue operation also resulted in the arrest of two traffickers and one customer.

The girl revealed she left her family home in Bihar’s Katihar district after having an argument with her mother. On seeing her alone and vulnerable at the Katihar Junction railway station, a man lured her on the pretext of giving her shelter for a few days. The innocent child had no idea of what awaited her.

The man took her to a rented room and brutally raped her for two weeks. When the girl became increasingly resistant to his horrendous act, he promised her to take her back home. However, he ended up taking her to Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district in an unconscious state. The girl was then purchased by a trafficker and brought to Sitamarhi for commercial sexual exploitation. The trafficker and his wife used to mercilessly thrash the minor when she refused to tend to customers. The helpless child was dehumanised by forcing her to attend to 30-35 customers a day.

To ensure strict and prompt action is taken in this grave matter, BBA facilitated the registration of an FIR under the Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA), and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The girl has been sent for medical examination and will be provided with all possible support by BBA to facilitate her rehabilitation.

Bachpan Bachao Andolan’s (BBA) timely intervention saved a newborn baby girl from being trafficked for a mere sum of INR 1.5 lakh.

Upon receiving information regarding a baby-selling racket operating in Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) in Patna, Bihar, BBA immediately swung into action. Our team collaborated with a special investigation team from a prominent digital media group in Patna to plan an undercover sting operation.

On August 19, two members of the investigation agency posed as decoy customers and visited NMCH. They closely observed the activities of the suspected traffickers near the neonatal care unit. The decoy customers posing as a couple convinced the traffickers that they were unable to have children and pleaded with the traffickers to arrange a baby for them.

After several rounds of discussions, the traffickers shared a contact number with the couple to purchase a child illegally. The male decoy customer maintained contact with the trafficker as negotiations continued. The traffickers demanded INR 1.5 lakhs for a female baby and INR 4-5 lakhs for a male baby. A deal was struck over the phone and the traffickers agreed to hand over a 7-day-old baby girl to the couple the next day either in Patna or near Hajipur in Bihar’s Vaishali district.

BBA immediately informed the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Patna, about the matter. The Special Intelligence Unit of Patna Police was assigned to work with BBA and the special investigation team of a leading media house to execute the mission.

The next morning, the team set out in two vehicles, and a WhatsApp group was created to track the decoy customers’ live location throughout the operation. The traffickers continuously changed the meeting location and time and our team actively shared the evolving situation with the relevant authorities in Vaishali district and Muzaffarpur.

At around 11:30 PM, the traffickers asked the couple to stop in a secluded area in Muzaffarpur district’s Motipur. The traffickers reached the location in a car accompanied by two bikers. Sensing danger, the couple did not leave the car and alerted the team in the second car.

The swift response of the Muzaffarpur police and the BBA team led to the capture of one of the cars, although the vehicle carrying the baby managed to escape. Three traffickers were arrested and one of them was forced to call his accomplices and convince them that everything was normal. The traffickers were called to a family restaurant in Hajipur around 2:30 AM, where the BBA team was present along with the police. At approximately 4 AM, a suspicious car arrived with three men and three women, and a crying baby was visible in the back seat.

Upon thorough interrogation, it was revealed that they received the baby from a woman named Meena Devi, who was the leader of their gang. Meena Devi had connections with illegal nursing homes and used to acquire babies born from illicit relationships for a mere sum of INR 10,000-20,000. She then supplied the babies to traffickers who sold them for large sums to childless couples. Three traffickers who reached the location with the baby girl were arrested and BBA took custody of the rescued newborn. The baby was immediately rushed to Sadar Hospital in Hajipur, where she was admitted to the neonatal care unit and placed on a ventilator due to her critical condition.

BBA facilitated the registration of an FIR in the matter, leading to the arrest of six traffickers involved in the baby-selling racket. We also sought the support of our partner NGO for post-rescue processes, including presenting the case before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and coordinating with the hospital.

On August 28, 2023, the baby girl was discharged from the hospital in a healthy condition. She was handed over to a Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA) through a formal process before the CWC in Vaishali, thanks to the collaborative efforts of BBA and its partners.

]]>
Amongst the 3 million sex workers in India, around 40% are estimated to be children. Our team in Sitamarhi district of Bihar identified a brothel where minor girls were pushed into prostitution and shared the intel with Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs).

On 11 July 2023, our team, in coordination with Sitamarhi district administration and police conducted a rescue operation in the Boha Tola area (a prominent red-light area in the district) and rescued 8 minor girls. Janaki (name changed) a native of Nalanda district in Bihar was one of them.

After the rescue, Janaki narrated her ordeal to our team. She informed our team that she wanted to study but her parents forced her to drop out of school after class 10. She ran away from her home to Patna in hopes of continuing her education but fell prey to a trafficker who sold her to a brothel in the red-light area of the Sitamarhi district.

What she and the other girls went through was nothing short of a nightmare. At least 20 men made sexual relations each day with every girl. If anyone would try to refuse, she was burnt with heated tongs. Even amongst these horrific times, Janaki did not lose hope for better days.

Our rescue operation came as a gateway to freedom for Janaki. Two customers and 10 employers/traffickers were also arrested. This created a deterrence in society against engaging minors in prostitution.
