The Story in Brief
Delhi Police have rescued 10 girls and arrested nine people after a 15-year-old girl's disappearance on May 9 led them to a human trafficking syndicate. The gang allegedly lured vulnerable girls through social media with promises of jobs at spas, then transported them to Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.
Police tracked the teen to a spa in Mundra, Gujarat, and arrested the operator, Damani Sushil Haresh, and his associates. Further raids in Ballia and Delhi freed seven more girls and two minors. The syndicate used a chain of recruiters, transporters and spa operators; one associate, Prince, remains absconding. Two boys initially apprehended were later treated as victims.
The Indian Opinion
Social media platforms have become hunting grounds for traffickers, yet the government and tech companies keep passing the buck. The same algorithmic power that sells ads can spot predatory behaviour, but enforcement remains reactive, not preventive. Every rescued girl is a failure of the system that allowed her to be lured in the first place. The real test is whether Delhi Police will name the specific social media accounts used, forcing platforms to act.
