Even as Delhi police attempts to crack the murder mystery surrounding two Uzbekistani women, investigators have come across the modus operandi employed by Gurvinder alias Gagan, the accused in the case as well as other human-traffickers.
An investigator said that Gurvinder used to drive a taxi operating out of Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan and it was during this time that idea of 'venturing' into human trafficking came to Gurvinder who now has a country wide network and mostly conducts his 'operations' through social media websites like Facebook.
"On many occasions Gurvinder had passengers either coming for the first time to India or those who were already studying here. The accused told us that during his travels from to various destinations in the national capital and other northern states, met several foreigners from Central Asian states. He would interact with them and as he gained confidence he used either offer them jobs," said the official.
"He used to tell his victims them that he knew some rich people who could offer a lot of money for jobs like baby-sitting and running household chores as well as modeling and hospitality," the official told dna.
Take for instance the case of Atazhanova Shaknoza Kupalbayevna (also known as Naaz) who was initially being seen as a suspect in the murder of Uzbekistani belly dancer Shakhnoza Shukurova. However Gurvinder confessed of killing her as well. A letter drafted and addressed to the Uzbekistan embassy in India by Naaz was recovered from the belongings of Shakhnoza.
In the letter Naaz wrote that a girl named Muyassar, residing in Vodnik, told her that that she could have a job of a babysitter and a housekeeper. In july Naaz left her native in Horazm and came to Tashkent from where she went to Almaty in Istanbul and then travelled to India before staying in Nepal.
She added that she handed her passport over to another woman, Dilya, and worked as a maid in her house for a week till Gurvinder took her to Chandigarh.
Naaz added that she met Muyassar again in September who sent her to work for a “broker” named Gorof.
“I worked for 11 days. For each day of my work, she (Muyassar) received Rs 15,000. On September 13, I came to work for a broker named Rohan. Every day, I was forced to have sexual relations with six or seven men. They took the money from a broker 10 days in advance. I worked until September 15 and told them that I need to send money home for my brother’s surgery. They gave me $500 and said it was a loan,” she wrote.
In the letter, Kupalbayevna also describes the beatings she allegedly got at the hands of Gorof’s mistress, Gagan and Muyassar. “ I wanted to go home but they told me I had to pay my debt off and then I would be able to leave,” the letter reads. The letter ends with Naaz asking for help so she can live with her husband.
"I gave her rupees one lakh for my passport. If something threatening my life happens to me while I am in India, I am asking to blame Muyassar (Masha) and her husband Gurvinder (Gogan), the letter concluded.
