Imagine a train full of young women who were told they would get good jobs in a new city.
But, they were actually being sent somewhere else.
Police found them on a train and realized something wasn't right.
The women didn't have tickets, and the people with them gave confusing answers.
It turned out the women were tricked with false promises of jobs.
Now, police are trying to figure out if it was a trick to traffic the women and take them somewhere else.
They have arrested two people and are asking everyone questions to help them solve the case.
