Nineteen Children Rescued, Three Women Arrested in Arunachal Suspected Trafficking Case

Nineteen Children Rescued, Three Women Arrested in Arunachal Suspected Trafficking CasePreviousNext

Namsai Police in Arunachal Pradesh rescued 19 children, mostly under eight, from multiple districts amid a suspected trafficking network. Three women—Gumnya Kochung, Marta Ete, and Neha Gerory—were arrested as alleged facilitators. Investigations suggest economically vulnerable families were approached with promises of better care, with some children placed in distant locations and engaged 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 financial and digital evidence to identify others involved.
