5-month-old rescued from trafficking gang, 2 held

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: Police on Tuesday arrested two more members of a child trafficking gang and rescued a five-month-old girl from them, which takes the total number of arrests in the case to 13 and the number of rescues to four since January 8.
According to Gurgaon police, the arrested duo, identified as Anand and Baby, had plans to sell the five-month-old. While Anand got nabbed in Delhi, police arrested Baby from Rajasthan. “Anand was involved in purchasing children from couples from humble backgrounds. The gang mostly targeted those who worked as labourers, lived on the streets or slums and had no means to raise a child,” inspector Manoj Kumar, station house officer (SHO), DLF 3, said. The gang, he added, used to pay a small amount to the parents and sold the children for a higher price.
Police had earlier revealed that the gang sold the children to a community of street performers in Rajasthan for Rs 1.5 lakh (for girls) to Rs 4 lakh (boys). The performers then trained the children to show dangerous street acts such as walking on the rope. All the arrests in the case have been from Delhi and Rajasthan.
Meanwhile, four infants, including three girls, have been rescued from the gang to date. Two girls rescued earlier were less than one month old, and the boy was four-month-old. According to police, the girls were in demand because the street performers sold them to older men as brides after they reached a certain age. Police are still trying to find the total number of children sold by the gang and locate all such children.
The gang was busted on January 8 after a cab driver drove to the DLF 3 police station and complained about two women and a man in his cab. The driver had overheard a phone conversation between one of the women and a person from Alwar, Rajasthan, negotiating to buy an infant.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
