Rachakonda police Utilize Technology and Cybercrime Expertise to Combat Women Trafficking

The Rachakonda police are stepping up their efforts to combat women trafficking with the help of the IT cell and cybercrime specialists. They are making use of their knowledge to compile technological data on those responsible for managing human trafficking activities.

To find prostitution gangs that swiftly migrate between several social media platforms for their criminal activity, the police teams are scouring websites and online advertising portals. The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) frequently enlists the aid of cybercrime police stations to examine confiscated technology and retrieve data.

The teams locate the organizers—who are frequently based in different cities—by looking through social media accounts. According to AHTU Inspector N Chandra Babu, based on the leads, they track down local residents who are helping them and conduct operations to apprehend organisers, sub-organizers, and rescue victims.

The AHTU sections of the Rachakonda police have detained 305 people involved in prostitution organisation since its establishment in June 2020 and have also saved 305 operators. Several Indian states, including West Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, and Chandigarh, are home to the majority of the victims who have been rescued. Women from other nations, including Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Uganda, have occasionally also been saved.

Brothel operations found in condos, standalone homes, hotels, lodges, and other commercial buildings, including spas, are raided. Drugs like ganja, ecstasy tablets, and LSD blots have occasionally been taken from prostitution-related international clients by the police. According to the Inspector, cases are registered, and efforts are taken to look into and watch over court processes to ensure the conviction of suspects.

The Prevention of Dangerous Activities (PD) Act has been used by the police to take legal action against 102 prostitution organisers. Additionally, persons who have been detained even once under the Immoral Trafficking (Prevention) Act are continually being watched.
