Police in Parsa district Tuesday arrested two women who had allegedly trafficked two girls to India. They were arrested in Birgunj Metropolitan City-16.
The arrested have been identified as Laxmi Das (20) of Birtamod-9 in Jhapa district and Khusbu BK (19) of Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City-12 in Sunsari district.
They were allegedly trafficking two girls from Jhapa district to Chhaudadano, in Bihar, the eastern state in Inda. The Parsa District Police Office (DPO) rescued those trafficked girls in coordination with the Indian counterpart. It has been learnt that the trafficked girls were being sold in India.
