A joint police‑child welfare team rescued more than 50 minor girls in Madhubani, Bihar, after uncovering a scheme that used an alleged orchestra to exploit them.
A multi‑agency task force that included police, child welfare officials and local authorities carried out a rescue operation in Madhubani district, Bihar, after a tip indicated that an alleged orchestra was being used to lure underage girls for illegal work.
The sweep freed more than 50 minor girls, who were taken to the women’s police station for verification, medical check‑up and counselling. Law enforcement officials have lodged FIRs and are notifying the families of the rescued children.
A crowd of relatives and extended family members gathered at the station, expressing relief and demanding swift prosecution of the perpetrators. The incident has highlighted the threat of human‑trafficking networks that exploit cultural events to target vulnerable children.
Investigators are probing the organizers of the fake orchestra, seizing equipment and documents that may link them to broader trafficking rings. The rescued minors will receive ongoing support and protection as the case proceeds through the legal system.
