In a disturbing turn of events during the festive celebrations of Bihu in Radhakuchi village, Barpeta, a grave case of human trafficking has come to light, sending shockwaves through the community.
The accused, Mazibur Ali, a resident of the village, has been apprehended by vigilant locals and handed over to the police on allegations of involvement in a human trafficking racket. The victim, identified as Sehnaz Parbin, was reportedly lured by Mazibur Ali under the guise of a romantic relationship.
According to the investigation, Mazibur Ali allegedly collaborated with another individual, Nazrul Ali from Garemari village, to orchestrate the sale of Sehnaz to a gang of traffickers for a sum of 5 lakh rupees. The heinous nature of the crime was uncovered when Sehnaz managed to reach out to her parents and recount the harrowing ordeal she had endured.
Prompted by Sehnaz’s account, her parents, along with other concerned villagers, quickly sprang into action to apprehend the accused trafficker, Mazibur Ali. During the interrogation by the locals, Mazibur Ali made a shocking confession, revealing the chilling details of the human trafficking network.
Mazibur Ali disclosed that he had been collaborating with Nazrul Ali in trafficking girls from various parts of Assam to another trafficker, identified as Shazida Parbin of Cooch Behar. He further admitted that they received a 30 percent share of the total sale amount, while the remaining sum went to Nazrul.
“The girls sold to the female trafficker were subsequently transported to different parts of India as per the demands of the buyers,” Mazibur Ali confessed during the interrogation.
The apprehension of Mazibur Ali has shed light on the pervasive issue of human trafficking in the region, prompting the authorities to launch a thorough investigation to ensure justice for the victims and to dismantle the nefarious network operating in the area.
This disturbing incident, unfolding amidst the joyous celebrations of Bihu, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the scourge of human trafficking and to strengthen the safeguards for vulnerable individuals within the community.
