Cop Launch ‘Operation Shakti' To Bust Human Trafficking Rackets
Nagpur: The Nagpur city police have hit the streets with 'Operation Shakti', a campaign aimed at curbing human trafficking . With the city ranked third in Maharashtra — just behind Mumbai and Pune — in trafficking of women and minors, cops are now tightening the noose with increased surveillance, raids and awareness campaigns. Under Operation Shakti, police will begin crackdowns at hotels, spas, and massage centres suspected of being used as fronts for trafficking. Specially designed plaques displaying emergency helpline numbers (1098, 112, and 1930) along with key messages from the police will be prominently displayed at these locations. These efforts are backed by a detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) aimed at identifying and disrupting trafficking networks. CP Ravinder Singal said, "Trafficking for prostitution, child labour, organ trade, and early marriages must be stopped. In the last two years, we've intensified our work, and Operation Shakti is the result of multiple reviews and encouraging outcomes," said Singal. He highlighted recent operations, including the rescue of five minor girls from the Ganga Jamuna red-light area. "Children, knowingly or unknowingly, become victims, especially through mobile phones and social media. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in Sarandi Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Often, they don't report these situations. That's why we've started programmes like 'Police Didi' and 'Police Kaka' to build trust and conduct awareness sessions in schools and colleges," he added. Singal also praised the role of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP), calling their cooperation essential to intercepting trafficking via trains. "Our goal is zero tolerance, and that requires multi-agency collaboration. Operations like 'Thunder' and 'U-Turn' have already shown major success, including reducing road accident deaths by 70 in the last seven months," he said. Vinita Singal, principal secretary of Food and Civil Supplies and former labour secretary, stressed a holistic four-pronged approach to trafficking: Prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership. She proposed linking victims' identities via Aadhaar and the Saral database for tracking. She called for better rehabilitation, faster adoption processes, and utilizing vacant seats in ZP, NMC, and Ashram schools to house rescued children. "Breaking the trafficking cycle is possible, we just need to collaborate," she said. Additional CP (Crime) Vasant Pardeshi called the issue deeply socio-economic, pointing out that families themselves are sometimes involved, knowingly or unknowingly. "Victims often follow a one-way track that's hard to escape. Breaking that chain, whether of human trafficking or bonded labour, is critical," Pardeshi said. Additional CP Shivaji Rathod stressed the importance of community awareness. He recalled a case where a girl was lured to Nagpur by relatives under the pretext of education but was later sexually exploited and left to die in a water tank. "We need proactive communication with children and parents. During my tenure as SP, we created dedicated WhatsApp groups in schools as part of the 'Police Didi' outreach," he said.

NGO member arrested for running human trafficking racket in West Bengal
Kolkata: A member of a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) operating from Siliguri in West Bengal's Darjeeling district was arrested for his alleged involvement in trafficking women. The arrested person was identified as Virendra Pratap Singh, the project director of the 'Durg Education and Charitable Society', said the police on Saturday. The police official said that the NGO is under scrutiny, and during the investigation, it came to the fore that girls from poor families were targeted and lured with the promise of providing jobs in big companies. Interestingly, the people working for the organisation did not visit the rural areas themselves. Rather, they appointed block-level agents who collected data from job applications from many such targeted women. The involvement of this NGO in the matter surfaced following the rescue of 56 women from being trafficked to other states earlier this week. These women were rescued from a train compartment at Siliguri station earlier this week before they were trafficked. Investigating officers are currently recording statements of the rescued women and trying to track down these agents. A senior police officer investigating the matter revealed that the NGO was running a training centre and a hostel in the Siliguri area for the crime. "After providing basic training and gaining their trust, the women were sent out for work in other states," the police officer said. As many as 56 young women were rescued from New Jalpaiguri railway station in north Bengal by the Railways Protection Force (RPF) and General Railway Police (GRO) early this week, and two persons were arrested in connection with the attempted human trafficking. The young women were rescued following a raid on the Patna-bound Capital Express. The arrested persons tried to smuggle these women to another state on the pretext of providing them jobs in a famous mobile company. The young women hailed from Jalpaiguri, Banarhat, Cooch Behar, and Kalchini areas of Alipurduar in north Bengal. Mainly, women living in and around tea garden areas were targeted. "The statements of the rescued women will help track those persons who helped them take the girls to the training centre. Search is also on for girls from previous batches through the documents and computers recovered from that institution," the investigating officer said.

Two held in Badaun for placing stones on railway track for reel
Two youths were arrested in Badaun for placing stones on railway tracks to record a video reel. The incident took place on the Bareilly-Kasganj rail route and caused minor damage to a passenger train engine and it could have led to a serious accident, said officials on Friday. The accused in police custody (HT PHOTO) The incident occurred on July 1 between Bithroi and Manpur Nagaria railway stations, where stones were intentionally placed on the tracks. As the Lalkuan Junction Passenger train was travelling from Kasganj to Bareilly, its engine hit the stones. The impact bent the engine's cattle guard, but no major accident occurred, they informed. Following the incident, the train pilot immediately informed the Government Railway Police (GRP). A case was registered under the Railway Act against unknown people. GRP Badaun Post Commander Ram Pratap Singh led the investigation, during which two residents of Ward 3 in Kachhla — Mejuddin Miyan and Mujer Miyan — were identified as being involved. 'Both accused were arrested by the GRP on Thursday,' the officer said. 'During questioning, they admitted to placing the stones to shoot a reel for social media. They claimed they did not intend to cause harm, but the train arrived earlier than expected and hit the small stones. Realising the seriousness of what they had done, they fled the scene immediately.' After their arrest, the accused were produced before the Railway Court, which ordered their judicial custody. They were sent to jail pending further legal proceedings.
