Mumbai police busted child trafficking racket which sent 300 kids to US illegally

The Mumbai police have busted a trafficking group which has sold 300 children to the Americans for a price of Rs 45 lakh per child. This shameless act was conducted by a Gujarat resident, Rajubhai Gamlewala.

So far police have not been able to find out what happened to those 300 kids after being sent to US. Mumbai police arrested few members of the group in March.

All those children’s sent to US belonged to poor families and mostly aged between 11-16 years. They choose only those kids who belonged to poor families so that their parents did not have any approach to find their kids and most importantly many families sold their kids for money in spite of the fact that they nothing good will happen to them.

This gang used to receive order from the US and just after receiving the order the gang used to start searching for poor families who were willing to sell their kids, mostly in Gujarat. They used to give some money to the parents of the child and then arranged passports.

The first thread was pulled by Actor Preeti Sood, who got information over a phone from a friend that 3 people have come for a makeup of three children at versova salon and he was suspicious that the three girl child were being readied for brothel. But she realized that it was way bigger than that and called the police.

When she further enquired from the three men about the minor girls they told that they were sending those minors to their parents in US. She asked them to go to police station along with her but they refused and she managed to stop two of the men and called the police. Later 4 people were arrested by the police which also includes a retired sub-inspector’s son.

The main accused have been booked under IPC’s sections 34 and 373. He will be kept in the police custody till 18^th Aug’18.
