Rajasthan Police Rescue Six Minors from Alleged Forced Sex Work, Five ArrestedNext

Rajasthan police rescued six minor girls aged 12 to 17 from the Banchhada community in Jhalawar district, arresting five people, mostly family members, for allegedly forcing them into sex work. Medical examinations confirmed sexual exploitation and sexually transmitted diseases in some victims. The operation followed a complaint and a 'Ground Zero' report highlighting child trafficking in nearby regions. Police conducted a decoy operation using spy cameras and coordinated raids with over 100 personnel to gather evidence and rescue the girls.
