#BengaluruGangRape #HumanTraffickingRacket #RepublicTV
Days after the brutal gang rape of a Bangladeshi woman in Bengaluru, police have unravelled a human trafficking racket that had been operating, where women from the neighbouring country were allegedly being smuggled into India. The Bengaluru Police, while probing the horrific gang rape case, has shared details of the racket being operated with Bangladeshi Police, sources informed on Thursday. The police have allegedly identified Rafiq – one of the five accused in the gang rape – as the operator of the human trafficking racket.
Police sources have reported that Rafiq would smuggle women from Bangladesh to Bengaluru, by getting them fake Aadhaar Cards, and involving them in prostitution along with other illegal activities. In a joint investigation by the Bangladeshi and Bengaluru police exposing the human trafficking racket, four persons have been arrested in Bangladesh. As per sources, the Bangladesh Police has arrested Rafiq and is trying to ascertain how many persons had been trafficked to India.
The four persons arrested, apart from Rafiq, have been identified as Ashraful Islam alias Bass Rafee, Shaheeda Begum alias Madame Shaheeda, Ismail and Rehman Sheikh.
Sources say that Rafiq was the kingpin of human trafficking in Bangladesh and has been trafficking girls to India for the last 10 years. Bangalore gang rape accused – Riday- is said to be Rafiq’s right hand in the business. Sources report that Rafiq and his associates used to lure Bangladeshi girls by assuring them good jobs, following which they would be coerced into taking drugs and then obscene videos of them would be recorded. Significantly, both Rafiq and Riday are said to have trafficked more than 50 women to India. The Bengaluru and Bangladeshi police are investigating the matter further.
