The Anti-Human Trafficking Cell of the Rajasthan Police today rescued 13 child labourers working at two commercial units in the city.
The boys aged 15-17 years were rescued as the cell conducted raids after receiving a tip-off about child labourers working at the factories in the Indraprastha Industrial Area here.
Cases were lodged against the proprietors of the units at Anantpura police station, while the minors were produced before the Children Welfare Committee (CWC) which sent them to a children's shelter home, Kota Anti-Human Trafficking Cell In-charge Dharmraj Ranawat said.
