New Delhi: A large number of girls from the northeast are being regularly trafficked and forced to enter into wedlock in Haryana, causing a serious concern for law enforcement agencies.
Despite the Union Home Ministry setting up a nodal cell to deal with the menace, girls from Nepal, Bangladesh and different parts of the country are often being trafficked to metropolitan cities and most of them end up in brothels.
“We have recovered many girls from Hissar in Haryana. All of them were forcibly married after being trafficked,” Assam Superintendent of Police Violet Baruah said after a meeting of state anti-trafficking cell officers convened by the Home Ministry. (PTI)
