Bangladesh police started the



drive against the human traffickers after the video of the rape and torture of a Bangladeshi woman by some other Bangladeshi people in Bengaluru went viral on social media. Bengaluru police arrested 6 people in this connection.

The Bangladeshi gang of human traffickers targeted students of schools and colleges and sometimes young housewives. They were lured through social media channels like Facebook and Tiktok by using videos. They also offered the girls jobs in hotels, supermarkets and beauty parlours where they are forced into prostitution by making their obscene videos and threatening them to send these to their families.
