Girls from Bangladesh trafficked to Gujarat, father seeks custody | India News – Times of India
The city’s crime branch rescued the girls from an apartment in Vastral in August and arrested Sagar Mondal for smuggling them to India and forcing them into prostitution. He was also accused of raping one of the sisters. Police also arrested the girls’ mother and another woman, who was married to Mandal.
The state government had opposed the deportation of the girls, saying their presence might be needed to testify against Mandal. It had also said that since the Union Home Ministry was involved in the process, it could not determine the exact date of their deportation.
A further hearing will take place on December 4.
