Six Tripura Girls Rescued from Suspected Trafficking at India-Nepal Border in Bengal
Six girls from Tripura, including four minors, were rescued near the India-Nepal border in Bengal during a routine late-night check by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). The girls were reportedly lured with promises of dance jobs in Nepal but lacked clear information about their destination or employment. Two men accompanying them were arrested for failing to justify crossing the border. Authorities have registered an FIR and are investigating the trafficking concerns, with plans to reunite the girls with their families.
