A police operation has led to the rescue of a minor girl from Bangladesh who was allegedly trafficked to Odisha on the false pretence of employment and later forced to work in a massage parlour in Odisha. Deprived of her salary after working for months, the victim fled the massage parlour and was wandering around Link Road when Madhupatna police rescued her.

The incident has sparked concern, highlighting issues related to human trafficking. The young girl alleged that she was brought from Bangladesh to India by an acquaintance she met on Facebook, who promised her a job. According to her statement, the individual initially took her to Kolkata before shifting her to Bhubaneswar and subsequently to Cuttack, where she was forced to work in a massage parlour without any payment.

Madhupatna Police found her alone near Link Road in Cuttack and placed her under the care of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), which is investigating the matter in coordination with the local authorities. Efforts are being made to confirm her nationality through communication with the Bangladesh High Commission, given her lack of identity documents.

Steps are being taken to ensure her safety and to probe the legitimacy of her claims. Additional efforts are underway to identify and apprehend those responsible for the alleged trafficking.

When contacted, Pramod Acharya, Chairman of CWC said, “The Madhupatna police had rescued the girl on November 10. She was produced before us and we learnt that she is a Bangladeshi. But, she does not have an identity proof or any travel documents.”

“Sometimes around August to September, the victim was promised of job due to financial necessity in her family and brought to Kolkata from Dhaka. Later, she was brought to Bhubaneswar and then to Cuttack where she was illegally engaged in massage parlour. Probe is on and we are making efforts to hand her over to her hometown. We have approached the DCP in this regard,” Acharya added.

When contacted, Cuttack DCP Jagmohan Meena said, “She was rescued from Link Road and handed over to CWC. Prima facie, it is a case of illegal migration as she doesn’t have any documents with her. We have informed the Embassy. Further probe is on.”
