A human trafficking racket involved in selling girls for flesh trade in Delhi and NCR areas was today busted in Indirapuram area with the arrest of five people, including the woman kingpin.
On an information that a trafficking racket is being run from a rented house at Khora Colony in Indirapuram area, police sent a decoy customer, who finalised a deal to purchase a girl and gave Rs 10,000 as advance, SSP Nitin Tiwari said.
As soon as the deal was made, a police team reached the spot and arrested the gang's kingpin, Babli, and four others --Mintu, Dablu, Rajkumar and Mohd Samim-- involved in the racket.
Police also rescued two girls.
The gang used to bring girls from railway stations and others areas on the pretext of giving them jobs and then supply them to prostitute rackets.
