Kashmir: – In a significant development in the ongoing Baramulla human trafficking case, police have arrested two additional suspects and rescued three more minors. The case, filed under FIR No. 173/2024 at PS Baramulla, has seen a concerted effort by law enforcement to dismantle a trafficking network exploiting minors from outside the Union Territory.
According to a statement from the Baramulla police to The Daily Guardian, further investigation led to the arrest of Ghulam Mohammad Khan, son of Ab Rehman from Narbal, and Manzoor Ahmad Shah, son of Gh Mohammad from Janbazpora.
