Sharmila goes all out to help young girls caught in the pincer grip of prostitution rings
Proud moment: Probationary sub-divisional police officer G. Janaki Sharmila receiving cash award from Superintendent of Police Mahesh M Bhagwat.
KHAMMAM: Chasing leads on flesh trade gangs, she entered places where even her male peers would hesitate to venture into. Putting herself often at risk by confronting people of all sorts, she proved that she was made out to shoulder special tasks and not the mundane stuff.
G. Janaki Sharmila, a probationary sub divisional police officer has been in the thick of action grabbing attention of the media and the public during her brief stint of six months in the district. Her main target
Ms. Sharmila has gone all out helping young girls caught in the pincer grip of prostitution rings that enjoyed the patronage of powerful clientele. Brothels luring poor girls into prostitution were her targets and she is thankful to her bosses for tasking her with the drive against human trafficking.
An Intermediate student forced into prostitution by a notorious gang along with a girl of the same age group was rescued by the police team led by Ms. Sharmila on December 24 last. The two girls were considered for special assistance by the administration, thus enabling them to lead a normal life.
Another gang in the flesh trade trapped a teenaged girl from a village in the district cashing in on her urge to make it big in life. The girl was in for a rude shock to know that she was pregnant. Khammam accounts for a good number of cases of forced prostitution and gullible women are being lured into the racket.
There is some let-up now, thanks to the crackdown, which is mainly because of this gutsy woman in uniform.
Quick and to the point in conversation, she says she joined the police service with a purpose by topping the Group 1 examination.
She gave up a job with a handsome package of Rs. 12 lakh in the HRD wing of a software company because of her “urge to reach out the helpless.” She lost her one-year-old child Snigdha in a road accident at Nagarjunagar in 2004.
This turned out to be her moment of transformation.
