Conviction rate in human trafficking cases only 8 per cent in A.P.: NGO representatives
Representatives of various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) said that the conviction rate in human trafficking cases was only 8 per cent in Andhra Pradesh, and many of the accused were acquitted and moving freely. 'Due to negligence on trafficking cases and lack of monitoring and support to the victims, the accused in many cases were acquitted,' said HELP secretary N. Ram Mohan. V. Ramakrishna, project director of RHEDS, an NGO, said that as per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data 1,396 cases were registered on human trafficking and 2,119 victims were rescued from 2016 to 2022. Anusha from Vimukthi, another NGO, said that as per NCRB data, 771 victims were rescued in 594 cases booked under Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, during the same period. 'As per the study conducted by the NGOs, Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs), which are authorised to book and arrest the accused in trafficking cases, have not registered even a single case in the State in the last three years,' Mr. Ram Mohan told The Hindu on Tuesday. 'Traffickers were luring poor women on the pretext of providing jobs and offering loans through various social media platforms and pushing them into flesh trade,' said Sujatha, manager of NGO GUIDE. HELP project manager V. Bhaskar appealed to the investigation agencies to keep a tab on social media groups, track the movements of traffickers arrested and mediators in the trafficking cases. 'Officers attached to AHTUs should be given more teeth, impart training to the investigation officers from time to time, conduct coordination meetings among the line departments and focus on victim support to increase conviction rate in trafficking cases,' said Vimukthi member Munna.

Chain snatching gang leader held after 400km chase across states
1 2 Jaipur: City police Sunday arrested a chain-snatching gang leader and detained a juvenile accomplice after a 400-km chase that spanned multiple states. DCP (South) Digant Anand said the Shipra Path police arrested the main accused, identified as Ram Mohan alias Munna Bagariya (22) from Rewari in Haryana, following a detailed probe involving over 100 CCTV footage analyses and extensive ground intelligence. According to SHO (Shipra Path) Rajendra Godara, the accused is a habitual offender with multiple cases of assault, theft, burglary, and chain-snatching registered against him across police stations in Jaipur city. Godara said that a case was registered on July 10 after complainant Yogendra Khandelwal of SFS Mansarovar reported that two boys on a motorcycle snatched his wife's gold chain while she was buying vegetables near their home on July 9. Police said that Ram Mohan, a resident of Kalunda Ki Dhani in Nindar near Jaipur, was traced to several locations including Rewari, Narnaul, and Hisar before being located and arrested. Police recovered the stolen gold chain and the motorcycle used in the crime from his possession. The accused reportedly used a calculated modus operandi—targeting women walking alone in residential colonies, especially near alleys and parks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo To evade police detection, they concealed their identities with face coverings and lingered in the area post-crime to mislead surveillance efforts.
