Relative held for forcing minor girl into flesh trade
Varanasi: Prompt action by Ballia cops helped in timely rescue of a minor girl of Bihar from the clutches of her woman relative who was allegedly forcing her into flesh trade.
Ballia SP Vipin Tada said that the girl's family from Bihar had alerted child welfare committee officials on Wednesday that one of their women relatives, Gulshan Bano, had taken their daughter to Ballia, and was later forcing her to get involved in flesh trade. Taking serious note of the complaint, a joint team of officials was formed which raided the place of Gulshan Bano in a locality under Kotwali police station and arrested her after rescuing the girl, informed Tada.
Gulshan Bano was booked under Sections 366A (procuration of minor girl) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of IPC and sent to jail, while the girl was produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and later sent to the women protection home in Nidharia area, said police.
On Wednesday morning, CWC Ballia office bearers received a call. The caller tipped off about the area where the girl was kept after she was brought to Bihar, and alleged that she was being forced to indulge in flesh trade.
CWC Ballia chairman Prashant Pandey and judicial member Raju Singh then contacted the Ballia SP, who ensured formation of a joint team led by city magistrate, circle officer (city), inspector Kotwali, SO of women police stations and CWC office bearer. The team raided the place of Gulshan Bano and arrested.
