Biswanath: In a major rescue operation, Biswanath Police rescued two innocent minor girls who were allegedly held captive in an interior part of Chirang in Arunachal Pradesh for the last couple of months.

The identities of both the girls were kept hidden for security issues.

As per police reports, both the minor girls are the residents of Gutibari area under Gingiya Police Station in Behali of Biswanath District.
