Two men, carrying a cash reward of Rs 50,000 each on their head for allegedly running a human trafficking syndicate, were arrested, police said today.
In November 2013, a human trafficking racket was busted in central Delhi's Kamla Market and eight suspected pimps from the GB Road, were held, they said.
During investigation, it was revealed that the racket was being run by Saidulla Ali Gyan (43) and Atiyar Sheikh (33), the police said.
Efforts were made to arrest them but in vain, they said, adding a cash reward of Rs 50,000 each was declared on their arrest.
Last month, it was learnt that the two accused were residing in Kolkata, West Bengal, and continuing their human trafficking business from there, P S Kushwah, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), said.
Sources were deployed in Kolkata and nearby districts to track them, he said.
On November 14, Gyan and Sheikh were nabbed from the Sealdah railway station, Kolkata, the DCP said.
Gyan was engaged in the human trafficking business for the last 10 years and used to lure poor people on the pretext of getting them a job and sending them to Delhi with the help of Sheikh, he said.
