Two months on, police yet to track down child trafficker

His activity was brought to light by paralegal volunteers

Two months after three paralegal volunteers with the State legal service authority exposed a trafficking racket where children were roped in to beg or work, the police have yet to track down the accused, identified as Bablu. He is the prime suspect who is part of a child-trafficking racket operating out of Bengaluru, said the police. The three women volunteers exposed Bablu’s racket by pretending to be buyers looking for children. In their report they said that Bablu lived in a makeshift house on the footpath near the ISKCON temple on West of Chord Road along with two minor boys aged 11 and three years. He allegedly sold artificial jewellery at the signal while the boys were forced to beg and give them the money.
