19 Children Rescued, Three Arrested in Arunachal Pradesh Child Trafficking Case
Arunachal Pradesh police rescued 19 children, mostly under eight years old, from various districts in a suspected trafficking network. Three women—Gumnya Kochung, Marta Ete, and Neha Gerory—were arrested as alleged facilitators. Investigations revealed that economically vulnerable families were approached with promises of better care, and some children were placed in domestic or hotel work. Monetary transactions between Rs 10,000 and Rs 50,000 per child were reported. A Special Investigation Team is probing the case further to identify others involved and trace more children.
