The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday searched five locations in Kolkata and Bangaon areas and arrested two men for their alleged involvement in the trafficking of a minor Bangladeshi girl, officials said on Sunday.

The accused — Amir Ali Shekh and Amal Krishna Mondal– both hail from the North 24 Parganas district.

The victim was illegally trafficked into India on the pretext of employment, and was forced into exploitation, an NIA statement said.

The search operation on Saturday resulted in the seizure of a huge amount of Indian, Bangladeshi and other foreign currencies besides several incriminating documents, it said.

“The searches operation has resulted in the seizure of a huge amount of Indian, Bangladeshi and other foreign currencies and several incriminating documents. With the latest arrests and seizures, the NIA has taken a significant step further towards dismantling the human trafficking network engaged in trafficking Bangladeshi girls into India from across the border,” read the statement.

The agency continues to investigate the case.
