This was how six Nepali women, who managed to escape from a brothel in India where a human trafficker Bajir Singh Tamang from Shikharpur- 9, Sindhupalchowk district had sold them, narrated their suffering. [break]
The women, who spent from 2 to 4 years in the brothel, demanded severe action against the culprit during a hearing on the district court (Sindhupalchowk) a week ago.
According to the victims, Tamang is not just a mole but the ringleader of a human trafficking network active in the Tamang village in the district.
Tamang was arrested one and half years ago. The police have also identified seven people who are part of Tamang´s network and arrested two others. The police said a search team has been mobilized to hunt down the rest of the members. “The other two members of the gang, Tekbahadur BK and Sukuman Dung, were arrested a year ago,” DSP Basanta Lama said.
According to the women, Tamang himself owns a brothel in Shahid Nagar in Agra city of India. “He runs the brothel and also supplies girls to other brothels for as much as Rs 300,000,” said one of the victims Chautara E (name changed).
Tamang was a driver before he became involved in human trafficking. He allegedly supplied a girl to Agra for the first time in 2008 on the advice of his sister Tara Tamang. Soon after that Tamang supplied seven girls to the same brothel followed by many others in due course of time.
Six of the women, who managed to escape with the help of Tamang´s ex-wife, testified against Tamang in the court demanding stringent action against him.
