ELURU: A gullible teenaged girl from the agency of West Godavari district would have ended up languishing in sex work overseas, but for the prompt action by the city-based police. A team of police led by the city Circle Inspector Vijaya Paul and II-Town Sub Inspector N Govindarajulu raided the den of a woman trafficker at Ashoknagar and saved the girl. However, the trafficker managed to evade the arrest.
According to DSP V. Premakumar, Tatiparti Jayamma of Jalipudi on the city outskirts allegedly lured the girl by helping her purse a course in nursing and secure a job and kept the victim at her house for a few days. When Jayamma was trying to secure a passport for the girl to be trafficked to Singapore and Malaysia through a gang based in Tamil Nadu, the police rescued the girl.
The victim, a daughter of a farm worker from Buttayagudem mandal, dreamt of becoming a staff nurse. But her poor financial background appeared to be a major stumbling block for her to realise her dream. When she was asked to pay a sum of Rs 15,000 for admission in the Nursing course by the management of a Tanuku-based nursing college, the trafficker entered the scene to cash in on the victim’s poverty.
Jayamma, was reportedly thriving on trafficking of women overseas by securing a passport and visiting visa.
The accused allegedly trafficked two women from the city to Singapore. The DSP said efforts were underway to nab the trafficker and rescue the two victims languishing in Singapore.
