BETTIAH: An 18-year-old girl from an economically disadvantaged family escaped the dragnet of an allegedly organised human trafficking racket by reaching out to senior police officers in Bettiah. However, her petition to the Mahila Thana points to organised rackets in trafficking of girls from poor families. "The girl is safe. We are looking into the matter closely," Bettiah SP Upendra Nath Verma told this newspaper on Saturday.
The details of the girl's application is further buttressed by two audio clips (both accessed by this newspaper) that unfurl a sinister criminal network allegedly enticing poor families in places like Bettiah in north Bihar in an operation purportedly running out of Ghazipur in eastern UP.
