Non Manipuris arrested in trafficking children for begging
The Telegraph | Imphal, July 27:
Police arrested three non-Manipuris, including a couple yesterday, on charges of trafficking children for begging. Six children brought from outside Manipur by them were also rescued. The three arrested persons were identified as Nandu Ved, 35, his wife Tamator, 35, and another woman identified as Phul Kumari, 30 and are from West Bengal.
They came to Manipur on Monday along with the children in the age group of six months to 12 years. Two of them are children of the couple. The police said two children were with the trio when they were picked up yesterday. The police and the committee suspect some more children were brought along with the six and are looking for them.
“The trio possessed forged documents and we could not believe they really hail from West Bengal. They sometimes said they came from Dimapur, sometimes Bihar and sometimes West Bengal. We are trying to find out their exact origins. They could also have come from Bangladesh,” Mangsatabam said.
The police, however, said they “looked like Bengalis.”
