On 14.11.17, the occasion of Children’s Day, the Anti Human Trafficking Unit, Crime Branch, Sec-16 Rohini Delhi restored a large number of children, who had been rescued from the New Delhi Railway Station, back to their families. These children, all males, had either run away from their homes or had been abandoned by their guardians and had landed up at the New Delhi Railway Station. Most were clueless about their whereabouts and had no idea about their future. They had no place to go. The Crime Branch managed to rescue them before they could fall into the wrong hands. On the occasion of Children’s Day, no gift better than this could have been given to these children and their families.
TEAM & INCIDENT:-
Sh. Surender Gulia, ACP AHTU and his team comprising of Insp. Jogender Singh, Insp. Amleshwar Rai, ASI Kuldeep Singh, ASI Rajesh Kumar, ASI. Birendra Singh, ASI Naresh Kumar, ASI Harish Kumar, ASI Vijender Singh, HC Naveen Pandey, HC Praphull Chander and HC Kaptan along with representatives of Sathi, NGO worked tirelessly to locate these lost children at the New Delhi Railway Station. Most of the children had little information to give about their homes. Some children were residents of far-away places in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Each child had a different story to tell. Most children had boarded a train without ticket due to various reasons and had reached New Delhi Railway Station by default. Most of them belonged to the poorer strata of society and almost all were school dropouts.
25 such children had been rescued by the Crime Branch working with Sathi, NGO. Efforts bore fruit and in 18 out of 25 cases, the Crime Branch was able to locate the family members of the children.
ON 14.11.17 – CHILDREN’S DAY
A function was organized at AHTU, Crime Branch, Sec-16, Rohini, Delhi where the missing children were formally handed over to their family members. Each child was given a school bag with some books and clothes. It was an emotional get-together. Some children offered to share their ordeal and happiness on being rescued. Some parents and family members of these children also shared their struggle and distress after their child went missing.
All representatives of Sathi, NGO were felicitated and a small gift and a letter of appreciation were given to each of them.
