Indian Police Services probationers who worked on the city streets to trace lost children, have discovered that a big racket is operating in the city, with links to the trafficking of girls from Nepal to Hyderabad.

It was found that these girls are brought to Delhi and then to Hyderabad and are forced into domestic child labour as maids and baby sitters. The probationers, along with the child rights activists with whom they were working, found it difficult to trace the addresses of the girls.

One of the IPS probationers said, “We found a big network with the modus operandi of bringing girl children between the age of 12 and 15 years to Hyderabad. When we questioned them, they told us that they had come here for sightseeing and studies. They are all from villages around Kathmandu, in Nepal.”

Philips Isidore of Divya Disha Foundation, the NGO with which the IPS probationers were working, said, “It’s a human trafficking racket. The IPS probationers have rescued two Nepali girls working as domestic child labourers on Saturday. A few days ago, we rescued seven others. We suspect a mafia operation. When we tried to trace the addresses we were unsuccessful.” He further said even the boys coming from Bihar and other states in India are working as child labourers with goldsmiths.
