Webdesk, TNI Falakata, 24^th December, 2015: A married couple from Birpara was today saved from traffickers by some alert rail passengers. The newly married couple from Birpara’s Nongdola Tea Garden was being trafficked to Kanpur with the assurance of a salary of Rs. 12000 per month by a person called Baiju Shah. Shah handed the couple to another trafficker called Ajit Kumar Mishra from Mujaffarpur at around 9:30 pm on Wednesday. While the group was taking dinner, the hoteliers sniffed red. They immediately alerted the nearby rail passengers who came and caught the group. Later they were handed over to the GRP. In the interrogation, Ajit confessed of trafficking many others from this area to other parts of India. GRP sources told that the accused will be handed over to Falakata police for further trial and investigation.
