A significant breakthrough was achieved by Nagpur police when they rescued 38 labourers, comprising 23 women and nine minors, from a human trafficking operation, according to Commissioner Ravinder Kumar Singal on Sunday.
The victims were originally from Chhindwara district in Madhya Pradesh and had been deceived with fraudulent job offers for soybean harvesting but were instead being taken to Satara.
After receiving a crucial alert from an NGO, Nagpur police collaborated with Washim Superintendent of Police Anuj Tare, resulting in the successful rescue and the registration of trafficking and extortion cases against the culprits at Sitabuldi police station.
