The main focus of EMPOWER PEOPLE lies on awareness raising and sensitization trainings for law enforcement agencies. The organization is also offering direct victim support and assistance to women vulnerable to human trafficking and domestic violence.PANAJI: Three trafficked victims were rescued and two traffickers were arrested by the Panaji police on Saturday night. The traffickers were intercepted when they brought the girls to a customer opposite a popular hotel in the capital.
A police team led by PI Sandesh Chodankar laid a trap and through a decoy customer contacted an individual called Javed who is known to supply girls to prospective customers in the state.
Javed told the decoy customer that he can presently offer three girls from Mumbai. He also told the decoy customer over the phone that as he is out of station, the girls - aged between 20 and 25 - will be brought by his men Amjad Khan and Manoj Kumar in a car to the heart of the capital.
However, when they approached the area, a police team intercepted them and arrested the two traffickers. Police sources said that while Amjad is originally from Bhopal and Manoj from Delhi, both currently reside at Benaulim. They have been booked under Immoral Traffic Prevention Act. Police are now trying to trace Javed.
Meanwhile, the rescued girls, who claim to be from Mumbai, have been sent to the state protective home.
