Police today busted a human trafficking racket with the arrest of one person and rescued five Nepali girls, who were supposed to be sold at Rs 2,000 each, at Anandnagar railway station here.
"On a tip-off that girls belonging to neighbouring Nepal were being taken by Nautanva-Gorakhpur intercity express train for trafficking, GRP arrested Dula Ram," station officer GRP Binod Kumar Kaul said.
