In a major breakthrough, the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh has busted a gang involved in human trafficking. The gang was involved in shipping Rohingyas and Bangladeshi women as well as children on forged documents. The cops have arrested three of the gang from Ghaziabad and are on a lookout for another person involved in trafficking. All the three arrested are foreign nationals.
The Additional Director General (ADG), Law & Order, Prashant Kumar informed on Tuesday in Lucknow about this racket. He said that two women allegedly being trafficked abroad have also been recovered from the custody of the gang members. These women were being trafficked to Malaysia on illegal passport.

Later on, these women and children were being sold in Delhi, Ghaziabad and few other cities of India.
