Bihar Police have dismantled a human trafficking gang operating in Nalanda district, Bihar, rescuing three minor girls and arresting four traffickers, including a couple from Bikaner, Rajasthan. The operation began on April 9, when two cousins, aged 13 and 14, went missing, prompting their family to file a First Information Report (FIR) under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Following a tip-off, police raided a house in Bikaner, arresting Rajesh Kumar alias Raju and his wife Anjali Kumari, who were found in possession of the missing girls. Further investigation led to the arrest of Dhanwanti Chouhan alias Sobha, who allegedly sold the girls for ₹3 lakh (approximately $3,600 USD). Another minor girl, aged 16, was rescued from an associate's home, having been abducted from Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Police are continuing to investigate the trafficking network and its history of luring girls for forced marriages across states.
