Lured with hospital jobs, 3 Bangladeshi women trafficked to Mumbai and forced into sex trade
The Malvani police arrested a 53-year-old man Saturday and are currently searching for his three accomplices for allegedly trafficking three women from Bangladesh to Mumbai, misleading them with false promises of employment at a hospital, only to force them into the sex trade. The police rescued the three Bangladeshi women and sent them to a shelter home. According to the police, acting on specific information, the Malwani police raided a house Saturday night and rescued the three women. During the initial investigation, when the women's statements were recorded, it was revealed that they are Bangladeshi nationals from poor families. The women were desperately seeking work to support their families, the police said. The victims told the police that the accused falsely promised them jobs in hospitals in Mumbai. Last month, they were allegedly brought to Mumbai by illegally crossing the international border between India and Bangladesh. The accused allegedly bribed some government officials at the border to facilitate their illegal entry into India. The police registered a suo motu FIR and arrested Mansar Ahmed Sheikh, a Malvani resident, and are looking for Mehandi Hassan, Sanjeev alias Bachchan, and Akash alias Shaheen. The group members also allegedly helped one of the three women in making an Aadhaar card in her name to conceal her Bangladeshi nationality, an officer said. The four accused have been booked under sections 143(3) [trafficking of person], 144(2) [Exploitation of a trafficked person], 336(3) [crime of forgery], and 3(5) [common intention] of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and sections 4 and 5 of the Illegal Trafficking (Prevention) Act. The police are investigating whether the group trafficked women and forced them into the flesh trade in the past.

With SC case still pending, Assam man 'pushed' into Bangladesh returns home
GUWAHATI: Khairul Islam has been very busy for the past three days responding to phone calls from friends and acquaintances. This former schoolteacher from central Assam's Morigaon district was pushed into Bangladesh along with 13 other 'illegal immigrants' on May 24. He returned home two days ago after, what he claimed, the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) handed him and six others back to India, stating that they are not Bangladeshi nationals. Islam, who is in his fifties, was declared a foreigner by a foreigners' tribunal in 2018. He challenged this in the Gauhati High Court but it upheld the tribunal's judgment. Foreigners' tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies which deal with the cases of suspected foreigners. After he lost his case in the High Court, the police arrested him and sent him to a detention centre. He walked out on bail after two years in 2020 when the Supreme Court issued an order to decongest jails in the wake of Covid pandemic. Islam told this newspaper on Saturday that he had then moved the Supreme Court and his case is still pending. He lamented that he was deported although the apex court is yet to deliver a judgment. He said he had spent two days in Bangladesh and he did not face any problem there. 'The BGB had formally handed seven of us over to the BSF. The BSF did not protest it,' Islam said. 'I have no idea if the remaining seven are in Bangladesh or India,' he added. Islam said following his handover, he was under the care of Assam Police until returning home two days ago. 'The joys of my family members knew no bounds when I arrived home. I am feeling very relaxed now. I celebrated Eid. I had no idea that I would be able to celebrate Eid at home after deportation,' he said. Meanwhile, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has said the process of identifying foreigners will now move at a faster pace.
