In a significant anti-human trafficking operation, the 48th battalion of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) at Jayanagar successfully rescued 12 minor boys and one young man on Friday. The group was intercepted following a tip-off about suspicious cross-border movement from Nepal into India.
Two suspected traffickers, identified as 25-year-old Birju Sahni and 25-year-old Santosh Sahni, both from Darbhanga district, were arrested and handed over to local authorities for further investigation.
The operation, carried out jointly by SSB and local police using mobile and foot patrols, marks a key step in the ongoing crackdown on human trafficking across the Nepal-India border. Officials continue to intensify efforts to prevent such illegal trafficking activities and protect vulnerable minors from exploitation.
