Patna: Ten of the 24
girl students of a government residential school in Bihar, who
went missing five years ago, were pushed into flesh trade, police
said Saturday.
Shivdeep W. Lande, the Araria district superintendent of police,
said a police team had found that 10 of the 24 missing students of
the Kasturba Gandhi Residential School in Simraha had been pushed
into flesh trade.
"I was shocked to learn that 10 of these girls were among the 25
rescued from a red light area in Forbesganj near the Indo-Nepal
border in February," Lande said.
He had constituted a four-member police team to trace the missing
students.
Lande told IANS that police would not spare those involved in
pushing these students into flesh trade.
In 2010, the police rescued four students of the same school from
a red light area in Forbesganj and handed them over to their
parents.
Lande said the role of an NGO, Apne Aap, which was running the
school, was under the scanner.
"It is not possible that the NGO did not have any knowledge about
the missing girls. How can 24 girls go missing without its
knowledge?" he said.
Police in Araria, about 350 km from here, said 44 persons were
arrested during the raid in the red light area in February and
some girl students were rescued.
They were sent to shelter homes.
Lande said he feared that the remaining students might also have
been pushed into flesh trade.
Surprisingly, the district programme officer was first informed
about the missing students June 8.
Even last Monday, seven students were found missing when the
district child welfare committee chairwoman Rita Ghosh visited the
school.
Some of the students have not been attending the school since
March.
Police officials in Araria, an impoverished and backward region of
Bihar, said human trafficking was rampant in the district and
neighbouring districts along India-Nepal border.
