Earlier this month, when the team of Rachakonda Police along with child welfare officers raided the BC Colony of Yadagirigutta in Telangana, they had no idea that it could lead them to the discovery of minor girls who were trafficked.
Now, several families from across the state are queuing outside the local police stations enquiring about their missing children.
The shocking human trafficking racket came to light after the Rachakonda Police got a distress call. An inquiry was ordered following which the police busted a prostitution racket involving minor girls between five and seven years of age.
Initially, it was suspected that the racket was being operated by members of the Dommari community. Police rescued 11 minor girls and six women were arrested in connection with the racket.
