Mastermind of Human Trafficking Racket Nabbed in Gorakhpur Encounter

The police in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, have arrested Moharram, alleged mastermind of an inter-state human trafficking network, following an early morning encounter.

During a police site inspection, Moharram attempted to escape by snatching a service pistol from a woman sub-inspector, resulting in a bullet injury during police retaliation.

Authorities reveal Moharram's involvement in trafficking young women to Haryana and Rajasthan, with ongoing investigations to dismantle the network and uncover further criminal connections.
