Couple who trafficked 5000 girls in 26 yrs arrested with Rs 100-cr in assets

August 31, 2016

New Delhi, Aug 31: Delhi Police have arrested a couple who allegedly ran the biggest trafficking and prostitution racket in Capital's red light area of GB Road.

sextraders420With the routes of the alleged syndicate stretching all the way to Nepal and pecuniary gains made by the couple Affaq Husain and Saira running into crores of rupees, the Delhi Police Crime Branch have slapped the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against them, the first such case in GB Road.

Together, the two own property worth nearly Rs 100 crore from the illegal business, said the police, including houses in Delhi and Bangalore and even a school, which the two run in the name of their daughter.

Victim turns perpetrator

Saira, who had herself been trafficked by her first husband Talab Husain has been in the trade longer than Affaq.

In the past 26 years, they have trafficked over 5000 girls from Nepal and West Bengal. In GB Road, they run six kothas (brothels) including the biggest — number 64. “To hide his criminal activities, Hussain had handed over the management of the Kothas of G.B. Road in Delhi to managers andnayikas (wardens). Hussain used to pay them 15 per cent of the earnings,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav. This network and two others account for nearly 80 per cent of the flesh trade on GB Road and slapping of MCOCA instead of the conventional IPC or Immoral Trafficking Act will ensure a better deterrence, said the police.

The women were sold to the brothel owners at G.B. Road for Rs 1-2 lakh.

“The victims were thrashed, confined in hidden cells, intoxicated and kept starved for many days to force them in this activity. While the victims are compelled to live in hell like circumstances, their distressed family members keep running from pillar to post to trace them. The girls are paid meagre amount once the amount spent for buying them along with interest at the rate of eight to ten per cent per month is recovered from their earnings,” said Mr. Yadav.

Dear #2 Mayank, mumbai
There is no Disgrace to muslim community. In all religion there are some people who do bad that does not mean that because of that their religion becomes disgrace. In hindu religion also there are some people who do this type of business and it is not correct to say that hinduism is disgraced. The problem of these people is they do not study and follow their religion. If people study the holy scriptures of their religion then we can avoid these social crimes.

If they did it then they must be punished severely.

Another thing the supply is based on demand, so cant the men control themselves, is their wife not enough for them? or cant they get married to fulfill their desires?

If men can stay away from illegal desires then all this crime can be stopped to a major extent. Respect the women.

The crime what they have done is totally Unislamic. So do not judge islam by people's name or appearance. Islam strongly condemn such act.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: A 31 -year-old Bhojpuri dancer and another girl were rescued from human traffickers after the former alerted city police on landing at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) on Tuesday. They were to be received by a woman named Preethi at the airport.

The dancer had been told she was supposed to perform a few stage shows in the city, which has a significant Bhojpuri-speaking population. But when she realised she is likely to be pushed into flesh trade, she raised an alarm.

The woman, Radha (name changed), is a mother of four children and the lone breadwinner of the family. A few months ago, Radha came in contact with a woman named Soniya in New Delhi during a dance performance. Last month, Soniya got in touch with Radha and offered to pay Rs 40,000 per month if she performed in Bengaluru.

Radha agreed and was sent to Bengaluru from Chandigarh along with the other girl. During the journey, she learnt she was supposed to do more than just perform on stage. A shocked Radha informed the Central Industrial Security Force personnel manning KIA that she feared being pushed into prostitution. KIA police were informed and the women were rescued. Preethi was arrested.
