The women were heading to Delhi from Pokhara in a bus. Even a child girl was with the women. They said they were going to Kirgizstan for employment.
Coordinator of Maiti Nepal, Maheshwori Bhatt, said that the women were rescued after they informed that they would go to Kirgizstan from New Delhi. Only two of them had citizenship and passport, so suspected of being trafficked to India.
They have been provided shelter by the Maiti Nepal.
"A human trafficking agent may have called them in the pretext of providing them foreign employments," coordinator Bhatt said, adding that two women had even given 50,000 to the agents.
Information about the trafficking agents will be garnered, she added.
The rescued women are from Syangja, Parbat and Kaski districts. RSS
