Jharkhand Police Bust Inter-State Child Trafficking Racket
The Jharkhand Police have stopped a group of people who were stealing children from different parts of the state and selling them.
They saved 12 children, including 10 girls and 2 boys, who were between 4 and 12 years old.
The police arrested 13 people from this group, which has been working in several states for the past 10 years.
The children were taken from poor families who didn't know how to get help from the police.
The police are still investigating and trying to find the families of the rescued children.
Jharkhand Police rescued 12 children, aged 4 to 12, from an inter-state trafficking racket.
13 members of the 'Gulgulia Gang' were arrested, with operations ongoing in multiple states.
