PATNA: The Government Railway Police (GRP) rescued seven girls hailing from Nepal from the clutches of human traffickers at the Sitamarhi railway station on Wednesday evening. Five of them were stated to be minors.
According to sources, GRP constable Rakesh Kumar got suspicious when he spotted seven girls in the age group of 12 to 20 years waiting for a train to Mumbai on one of the platforms since afternoon. They were subsequently brought to the GRP police station for interrogation where they revealed that they were being taken to Mumbai on the pretext of getting them jobs in the Hindi film industry. The traffickers, however, managed to escape.
