Upon further investigation, it was revealed that as the two victim girls were preparing to depart for Delhi, they encountered an individual by the name of Sikandar Ali (38) at the Paltan Bazaar Railway Station in Guwahati. Ali managed to persuade the girls that he would assist them in reaching Delhi, and subsequently entrusted them to Idrish Ali (27) of Basistha.
Further reports indicate that Idrish Ali and his spouse Babli, along with Khairun Nessa from West Bengal, transported the girls to Siliguri via bus and sold them to Akbor from Bihar for Rs. 1,10,000. Akbor subsequently passed the girls to Tanvir Alom (35), who exploited them in the sex trade in Rawta, Bihar.
Consequently, the police apprehended Idrish Ali from Pilinkata, Basistha and Sikandar Ali from Paltanbazar, Railway Station after gathering substantial evidence against the accused individuals involved in the crime.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Khairun Nesa was residing at Idrish Ali’s residence and intended to bring another girl to the brothel in Bihar.
Subsequently, she was apprehended based on this information, along with the other four suspects who were presented before the judicial magistrate and placed in police custody.
