In a crackdown on child trafficking in Arunachal Pradesh, authorities rescued 51 individuals and arrested the fifth facilitator.
Police and central agencies launched a coordinated operation in Arunachal Pradesh that led to the rescue of 51 people suspected of being trafficked minors.
The operation, carried out over several days, targeted a network that had been moving children across state borders.
Authorities detained the fifth facilitator involved in the scheme, bringing the total number of arrests to five.
The rescued individuals, many of whom were underage, were transferred to safe houses and will be provided with medical and psychological support.
Investigators say the case is part of a broader effort to dismantle child trafficking rings in the northeastern region.
