What occurred ? Police and NGO Dismantle International Sex Trafficking Ring
Mandrem Police, with assistance from the Arz NGO, has successfully dismantled an international sex trafficking syndicate linking Uganda and India. SP North, Akshat Kaushal, revealed that the operation preyed on economically vulnerable young single mothers from Uganda. These women were lured with false promises of employment at establishments in Goa, only to be coerced into prostitution upon arrival in India. The traffickers confiscated their passports and visas, using threats of violence to control them.
