The Delhi Police have rescued a woman, who was 16 years old when trafficked from Assam in 2012 by a group of men. Senior officers said that the girl was further sold to agents in Delhi and was subjected to work as a forced domestic help in Ludhiana and Delhi. A reward of Rs 50,000 was also declared by the police to trace the victim out.
The police said that it was in January 2014 when a woman, Susena, a resident of Assam, approached NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan in Delhi and reported that in the year 2012 her daughter Pooja (name changed) who is 16 years old, has been kidnapped from her native place in Assam by one local trafficking agent Deepak. The woman also mentioned that her daughter was further sold to one Jacob Deep who runs a placement agency in the name of AA House Keeping and Office Staff providers at Taimur Nagar in the Capital. The victim's father also came to Delhi in search of their daughter but was also detained by the alleged traffickers at their office in Taimur Nagar, the mother said.
DCP south-east, Chinmoy Biswal said that based on the complaint, a joint team of New Friends Colony police station and NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan was constituted and a raid was conducted at the said address in Taimur Nagar.
"While the father was rescued from the address, the girl was not found. During further investigation, accused Jacob Deep was arrested and Deepak was declared a proclaimed offender (PO) and efforts were being made to trace the victim but no clue was found. Informers were deployed and teams raided all the possible hideouts in different parts of the country at Ludhiana, Coimbatore, Assam and Delhi to get clues about the missing girl. Secret sources were also deployed and Jacob Deep was interrogated several times. A team was sent to the native place of the victim in Assam and started gathering local intelligence regarding the missing girl," the DCP said.
Further investigation revealed that the girl is currently living and working as a domestic help at Shalimar Bagh. "The said information was further developed and after concrete development, a raid was conducted at BQ Block, Shalimar Bagh and victim was successfully recovered by the police team," Biswal said.
The police said that both father and daughter wanted to go to their village but Deepak refused to give any money to them and said that if they want to go home, then she will have to work in a house in Udai Park for 20 days, to which she agreed. "Even after 30 days when Deepak did not turn up to take her back from Udai Park, she ran away from there. Meanwhile, her father was being kept captive by Deepak and Jacob Deep in their office in Taimur Nagar," the officer said.
