The case began on May 9 when a 15-year-old girl went missing from south Delhi. Her mother filed a complaint, and police traced the girl's Instagram activity to a spa in Mundra, Gujarat. A team drove down and rescued her, arresting the spa operator and others. Further raids in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, freed seven girls from another spa, and two more were rescued from east Delhi. The syndicate allegedly used social media to lure vulnerable girls with promises of well-paying jobs at spas and hotels. Nine people have been arrested, according to Times of India, while India Today reports six arrests and three minors detained. One suspect, Prince, is absconding. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - indiatoday.in Tags: Delhi Police, girl rescue, Gujarat crime ring, human trafficking, social media, spas Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-teens-disappearance-leads-to-rescue-of-10-girls-from-trafficking-ring/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
