Eye on Games business, city sees spurt in trafficking of minor girls
NEW DELHI: Sixteen-year-old Sujata had gone to attend the annual fair in her village a month ago when she was intoxicated by two men and put on a train to Delhi. She was rescued from the capital’s redlight area last week. The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) said the girl, who was trafficked from South 24 Parganas in West Bengal, is traumatized and needs counselling. After being handed over to police by NGO Shakti Vahini, which rescued her from brothel number 512 on GB Road, Sujata was sent to the children’s home at Nirmal Chhaya in Tihar Jail.
"The two men gave me something to eat and I immediately fell unconscious. I do not remember anything after that. The days I spent in the brothel were a nightmare. I was beaten up if I refused to entertain a customer," said Sujata.
