PANJIM: The Nagaland State Commission for Women (NSCW) has sought detailed report from their Goa counterpart about the raid on alleged busting of inter-state sex racket involving Nagaland girls.
NSWC chairperson Sano Vamuzo has asked for the report from the Goa SCW in a formal communication today. GSCW on the other hand has flashed a letter to the Women police station to furnish a report on the raid it carried out at a ‘Lotus’ beauty parlour at Porvorim on 9th September.
Sources said that the NSCW has expressed concern whether six Naga girls who are rescued and lodged at Merces protective home are really involved in the alleged flesh trade or are falsely implicated.
“The chairperson (Vamuzo) has also asked the GSCW to assist the girls in every possible way and submit the report whether they were illegally detained or not…In the meantime, they have already launched an inquiry on their own in this matter,”
GSCW Chairperson Ezilda Sapeco, said that the commission has asked the women police station to submit details of the entire raid and Sub Divisional Magistrate report within four days.
The raid was executed after three Mizoram girls working at the beauty parlour left the work on October 4 and reportedly informed Mizoram NGO and police about the activities here.
The police team rescued 11 girls from Mizoram, Nagaland and Belgaum who are allegedly victims of human trafficking. Five boys including the parlour owner Mahalaxmi Mishra were arrested for trafficking and pushing the girls into flesh trade. They have applied for bail in the Children’s Court, which will be heard next week.
It may be recalled that Mizoram police on Wednesday sought production warrant to take custody of the lady owner for questioning.(HD)
Goa Police will have been heavily involved in this racket.
ReplyDeleteAny report will have been well "whitewashed".
I fail to see why all the women at the parlour are taken into protective custody against their own wishes. Surely- you only give protective custody to minors and also to adults if they have asked for it. Otherwise- you are actually holding people against their own will. Indian law is a disgrace and your judges seem to think they can impose protective custody on anybody? Human rights in your country has such a long way to go as most officials don't even recognise this.
ReplyDeleteThere should be ways to deal with victims of trafficking that don't actually end up harming them even more. The way they are being dealt with now reminds me of the dark days of Nazism when my Jewish relatives were put in protective custody by the Nazis themselves and then exterminated. What guarantees are there that these girls are not being subjected to indignity in their so called protective custody jails? If the law can lie about these de facto jails being protective custody, then what hope is there?- Sandra Waldorf
Yes Sandra Waldorf India has no laws. The rulers are themselves animals and know no human rights. They only loot and loot. They are worst than the Nazis. If Goa was still a Portuguese province then there would have been value of Human rights and honesty. With the Indian rule everything deteriorated.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra:::I hope you will kindly allow me to express a view slightly different from yours.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I understand what you have said, I feel that these girls were taken into protective custody for a short duration.This is to allow investigations to confirm if the "Parlour" run by the "Madam" (owner) was used for an illegal trade.
I have seen a footage on a news clip of the MADAM and can quite safely say she looks like the classic "MADAM" as reflected in films.
I am sure the girls will be released in due course.
No doubt the Goa Poice will also be looking for some "bribe" money.They will surely water down the whole case as soon as they have been paid.
The Goa Police were aware ,I am sure of this Parlour...but only chose to act because of the request from Mizoram.
I full agree with you that the Law and Judges in India and very notably in Goa are a bunch of Legal Jokers.
@ Sandra
ReplyDeleteHow can you expect human rights in Goa when all the ministers are illiterates and looters. Some of them have a high libido and for them any woman is a sex object. Years ago, there was no flesh trade in the parlours in Goa. There was only one red light area called Baina. Now Goa has been turned into a sex destination for tourists. An English colleague of mine told me that even young boys are available in Goa for the pleasure of the gay tourists. By the way, this English guy is a gay and he used to go to Goa and Sri Lanka for young boys.
Just do a google search and see the number of "Escort" services that are operating in Goa. Whom are they escorting? And do you think the police are so naive that they don't know what is happening? They turn a blind eye because they get their haftas (bribes). The present lot of politicians has turned Goa into a paradise for sexual perverts and drug addicts. No decent tourist now comes to Goa.
I think this is cat & mouse game, where the police are cats and the girls are mouse. All money related affairs, cannot trust anyone as per the situation in Goa. I can trust the prostitute but not the police.
ReplyDeleteComparing laws in Goa / India to that of Nazi Germany is not fair. In fact we should not even mention a comparision to that unholy past. In fact in the developed and civilized world its a crime to make such a comparison. India / Goa is resilient even to serious terror attacks. Never has it gased people in millions like that was done under the Nazis. I most definetely appreciate the views of N.Fernandes and Bebdo. Very well expressed guys. I must say you are intellegent chaps and are being reasonable . No doubt India/ Goa has its serious law and order concerns however there are many countries that do not value human rights. If any of you guys have worked in places like Kuwait and Saudi you will come to realise the sad plight of south asian domestics, but still I would never go so far in comparing.
ReplyDeleteSandra, to some extent, you are right. But if you come down to Goa and see the reality, the situation ont he ground is different. In Goa, there is nothing such as Massage parlours like in the Far East and West which are legal, transparent to the law. In Goa, it's actually the game of the whores and the pimps. The biggest pimps are the police and a lot of times, the consumers of favor are the politicians. Goa is going the bad ways because for the reason that Justice has failed in major cases.
