Three Arrested in Hubballi-Dharwad Child Trafficking Probe

Police in Karnataka’s Hubballi-Dharwad region arrested three suspects on Thursday as part of an investigation into a child trafficking racket. The arrests were made after intelligence indicated that the individuals were involved in the recruitment and transport of minors for illegal purposes. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and that additional evidence is being collected to map the network’s operations. The police have assured the public that steps will be taken to prevent further exploitation of children in the area.

The detained men are believed to have been coordinating with other members of the trafficking ring, facilitating the movement of children across state borders. Law enforcement officials have urged anyone with information about the scheme to come forward. The case has drawn attention to the need for stricter monitoring of child welfare in the region.
