NGO claims trafficking into domestic service in Delhi

The Indian NGO ‘Sramjeevi Mahila Samithi’ has filed a petition in a Delhi court, claiming that 290 women and children have been trafficked for domestic service in the south of the capital by placement agencies. They also claim that several of the children are now missing. Police, however, insist that after “discreet enquiries” they can find no evidence of criminal activity. They also said that the missing children could not be found, as they had no records, and had simply left the city.
It would seem that a case like this requires more than discreet enquiries and that it is not enough simply to conclude that the children cannot be traced due to lack of records. To read more about this and related issues, please visit
