WITH the arrest of an Afghan man and his two local aides, an alleged racket which helped Afghan men staying illegally in India get Indian passports — has been busted in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh.
IN a significant breakthrough, the Jharkhand Police have busted an international human trafficking network that allegedly duped several people, promising them illegal entry into the United States via the notorious 'donkey route'. The operation led to the arrest of five individuals, including the alleged mastermind, after a survivor of the trafficking came forward with a complaint.
