Assam: In a major breakthrough, railway authorities busted a human trafficking racket at Tinsukia Railway Station and successfully rescued 26 minor and young women who were being trafficked to Tamil Nadu using forged documents.
The operation was jointly conducted by the Railway Police Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRPF), who intercepted the victims during a routine inspection at the Tinsukia railway junction. The traffickers had allegedly prepared fake identity documents and were sending the girls to Tamil Nadu without the knowledge of their families.
According to reports, the Dibrugarh Railway Protection Force (RPF) grew suspicious after discovering that the women were traveling with fake Aadhaar cards. However, by the time the suspicion arose, the train had already departed for Tinsukia. The Dibrugarh RPF immediately alerted their counterparts in Tinsukia, who, along with the district police, conducted a joint operation at New Tinsukia Railway Station.
Upon inspection, it was confirmed that all 26 women were being taken out of the state using fake identity cards prepared by Jitu Dutta. He was taken into custody at the station. During interrogation, Dutta confessed to arranging the forged Aadhaar cards for the women.
