Girls in Assam were lured and kidnapped by a group of human traffickers who made them promises of jobs in neighbouring states before selling them for cash.
Aleka Begum, Akher Ali, Ashraful Alom, Saddam Hussain, Jainur Ali, Azad Hussain, Delbar Hussain, Nur Mohammad, and Anuwar Hussain are the nine people that have been detained.
After conducting search operations to discover the state's human traffickers with the assistance of the local Haryana Police, who had information about the traffickers hiding in the state's underbelly, the culprits were apprehended by a squad of Assam Police from the Barpeta division of Haryana.
In order to influence the girls' emotions into travelling with them to other states and eventually selling them to larger human trafficking rings that are prevalent in states like Rajasthan and Haryana, the accused individuals allegedly used to develop relationships with the females.
