The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered four cases to probe various criminal syndicates indulging in human trafficking, mostly of Nepali women and girls, through Manipur to other countries via Myanmar.
The cases were earlier registered by the Imphal police. The first one pertains to the trafficking of girls and women for their exploitation and trafficking to Myanmar and further to other South East Asian countries and West Asia through the Integrated Check Post at Moreh in Manipur.
The case is based on a first information report registered in Imphal in February 2019, in which three persons were named as accused for trafficking about 40 girls and women and two men.
