A team of the anti-terrorist squad (ATS) of UP Police also rescued two girls from Myanmar aged 16 and 18 and sent them to a shelter home in Lucknow.
The accused have been identified as Mohammed Noor, Rehmatullah and Shabiullah. The trio was not just involved in trafficking of women and children from Bangladesh and Myanmar, but allegedly smuggled gold into India and helped people sneak into the country with forged documents.

Bundles of Bangladeshi currency and forged documents, including a photocopy of cards issued by the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees, were recovered from them.
