Guwahati, April 13, 2019:

In a shocking revelation, it has been discovered that around fourteen girls from the NorthEast have been sold in Saudi Arabia by human traffickers.

The incident came to light when a notorious human trafficker, who was nabbed by authorities in Lucknow, confessed to having trafficked and sold all 14 girls in Saudi Arabia.

The trafficker has been identified as Rumana Begum, who has allegedly trafficked many girls across the country.

The details about this operation came to light after Lucknow police busted the human trafficking racket and rescued a Tripura girl who was about to be trafficked to Dubai.

The girls were allegedly sold in Dubai after being initially offered lucrative jobs.
