SILCHAR: Upon investigation on a missing case, filed in Gumra, Katigorah, the Cachar Police busted an inter-state human trafficking racket, being regulated mainly from Rajasthan. Cachar Police has so far rescued two minor girls belonging to tea gardens and arrested a person in Rajasthan. Another girl, who too was being smuggled to Rajasthan, had somehow managed to escape from the gang and reached Guwahati. The arrested person was identified as Lilaram, though the main two accused Ganga Ganju and Rupali Dutta were still at large.

SP Numol Mahatta said that one Bijit Karmakar from Gumra lodged a complaint that a few girls from the locality were missing. Later, a group of people from Gumra met and informed him that the girls were taken to Rajasthan by some unidentified persons promising them employment. Mahatta then contacted Anand Mishra, SP of Rajasthan Rural, who later tracked down the girls. A team of four police officials from Cachar, led by WSI Maheswari Das, rushed to Rajasthan and with the help of the police force of Chanuaji Outpost, rescued the girls. One of the girls was from Sribhumi district who was forcefully married to Lilaram.

Mahatta said that they found that Rupali Dutta from Gumra along with Ganga Ganju of the Bataimara area were the main players in the trafficking racket in Barak Valley. Their network was spread over the tea gardens of Brahmaputra Valley too.
