children of Bangladesh become victims of trafficking and are sold to brothels in various states including Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and West Bengal. Besides, many women and children are being caught by the Law Enforcement Agency in India as infiltrator and they lead miserable life in jails and safe homes in India. In the border area of Petropole, there are some shops and they give “Adhar card” to the trafficked girls in exchange of 500/600 rupees. In many cases, traffickers of both countries are involved in supplying these cards. It is also known that in past several companies used to supply these cards taking tender from government. As a result, brokers could easily collect these cards most of which were fake. Bangladesh government and Bangladeshi mission in India are considering the fact with due importance and working in coordination with relevant ministries.
