Benapole, July 12 (UNB) – BGB held four Bangladeshi teenaged girls at Putkhali border on their way back home to Jhikargachha and Manirampur from India`s Mumbai on Thursday.

The arrested were identified as: Tripti Begum, 15, Lipi Begum, 16, Neera Begum, 16, and Anjuara Begum, 17. They hailed from different villages of Manirampur and Jhikargachha upazilas of Jessore.

Commander of 26 BGB Putkhali camp said a gang of human traffickers lured them out of their house with the promise of better employment in India and sent them to Mumbai over four months ago.

Instead of providing them better job the gangsters sold them to pimps at a brothel in Mumbai where they were confined for four months.

They were regularly tortured there by their custodian and pimps in the last four months.

Being tortured they looked for an escape route from the `sin city` in Mumbai and somehow managed to flee to freedom and were held by BGB while crossing the border in the morning.

A case was filed in this connection with Port Thana.
