Young Woman Rescued from Trafficking Scheme in Bihar

Motihari, October 17 (Daily Kiran) : In a troubling incident from Motihari, a young woman fell victim to a deceptive love scheme that reportedly led her to a red-light area in West Bengal. Trusting her partner, she found herself entangled in a web of betrayal, as she was allegedly sold under the pretense of marriage. Fortunately, Bihar police acted swiftly and successfully rescued her from the dangerous situation.

The case originated from the Siswan Patna village in the Kesharia police station area of East Champaran. Authorities received information about the woman’s abduction about a week ago. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, they promptly registered a First Information Report (FIR) and assembled a special team led by Sub-Divisional Police Officer Santosh Kumar to locate her.

On Saturday, a police official reported that the team verified the information and acted on technical evidence, leading to the woman’s safe recovery from the red-light district in Punjipara, West Bengal. Following her rescue, her statement was recorded in court.

According to police, the woman revealed that Rohit Kumar, a resident of Shahpur Patti in the Muzaffarpur district, along with three accomplices, had ensnared her in a romantic ruse. They reportedly gained her trust by promising marriage before taking her to West Bengal and selling her. Based on her testimony, Rohit Kumar was arrested and presented in court on October 13, where he was placed in judicial custody. Efforts to apprehend the other suspects are ongoing.

This incident underscores the persistent threat of trafficking under the guise of love and trust, raising alarms about the vulnerability of young women. Police are committed to monitoring such cases closely. The operation involved key personnel including Sub-Divisional Police Officer Santosh Kumar, Inspector Arvind Kumar, and other officers.
