Four under‑age girls from Jharkhand were rescued from a human‑trafficking ring in Delhi and Jaipur, authorities said.
Police teams in Delhi and Jaipur intercepted a human‑trafficking network and freed four minor girls who hail from Jharkhand, according to official statements. The operation, coordinated by local law enforcement agencies, led to the immediate release of the victims and the detention of several suspects involved in the illegal trade. Authorities have begun a formal investigation to trace the full extent of the trafficking ring and to ensure the safety and rehabilitation of the rescued children. The rescued minors are being handed over to child welfare officials for medical examination and counseling. The case underscores ongoing efforts by Indian police to combat cross‑state human trafficking and protect vulnerable children.
The rescue was reported by Punjab News Express, which highlighted the collaborative effort between Delhi and Rajasthan police units.

Further legal action is expected as the investigation progresses.
Child welfare agencies have been alerted to provide immediate care and support to the girls, including psychological assistance and placement with safe guardians. The incident adds to a series of recent rescues aimed at dismantling trafficking networks that operate across state borders.
