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.Rajkot, May 31 (PTI) Four lawyers were detained here today for their alleged involvement in an inter-state trafficking racket.
The racket came to light when a girl, hailing from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, fled from her husband''s house just after marriage and narrated to her parents that she was sold to Haresh Soni, a man from Porbandar, at Rs 80,000, police said, adding the man has been arrested.
Meanwhile, the girl''s father lodged a missing complaint with Jabalpur police who discovered that she was last seen with a person named Dharmendra alias Mirchi who along with his women accomplices had ensnared the girl under the pretext of offering job in Gujarat and sold her, police said.
A joint team of Jabalpur police and Railway Protection Force today detained the four advocates -- Dhaval Mehta, D B Gangani, Shailesh Kamdar and Rajendra Kotak -- for aiding trafficking of minor girls by faking their age with false affidavits.
A hunt has been launched to trace four more suspects involved in the racket, police said. MSN
