45-yr-old mother taken to Delhi with job promise

TURA: A married woman with a child who was lured away to New Delhi from Garo Hills on the pretext of being given a job made a daring escape by jumping from the roof of a house where she had been held captive after being sold into the flesh trade.The 45-year-old woman hailing from Baksalpara village in North Garo Hills district had left for Delhi last week after being assured of a job in a company by one recruiter from nearby Assam.

“She left her family in search of a job in Delhi after being promised a lucrative post in a private company by one person from Sishapani village of nearby Goalpara,” informed police.

The victim on reaching Delhi was taken into a red light area and sold to a gang. She was kept inside a house but managed to call her relatives in Garo Hills from the mobile phone she had in her possession.

A woman police officer from Tura got in touch with her and directed her to the nearest police station in the national capital.

She jumped from the roof of the building she was being kept prisoner and ran into the busy streets where she sought directions from locals to the nearest police station. She was ultimately led into Tilakmarg police station where women police personnel took her in. She is due to be brought back to Garo Hills by a special police team.
