New Delhi: DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal has written to West Bengal police, seeking information about a case registered by them against brothels at GB Road in Delhi.
In 2017, West Bengal police raided the brothels after receiving a complaint that a minor girl was trafficked and brought there.
The police arrested two persons after the raid. In her statement, the girl revealed that the local police used to inform brothel owners before a raid was to be conducted, a Delhi Commission for Women official has said. West Bengal police had written to the concerned police and district authorities for closure of the brothels.
"When DCW contacted the district magistrate over the closure, it was informed that they don't have sufficient information from West Bengal police.
Hence, we have written to the West Bengal police to give a certified copy of the FIR, present status report of the concerned case by September 3," the official said.
"Brothels at GB road have become hub of child trafficking. Minor girls are being sexually exploited there.
DCW is trying hard to close down brothels at GB Road and end this deep-rooted nexus of trafficking," Maliwal was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the DCW.
