Three women were handed to a human rights organisation, named ‘Rights’ in Jashore and the rest of them to the Justice and Care, after completion of the legal procedure, said Rabiul Islam, sub-inspector in Benapole Port Police Station. The organisations would take the women to their families, he said. Some women were illegally trafficked to India with promises of good jobs about two years ago, and some of them five years ago, said Towfiquzzaman, information and investigation officer in the human rights organisation ‘Rights.’Police detained them as they were looking for jobs. A human rights organisation ‘Rescue Foundation,’ kept the Bangladeshi citizens in its custody after they had served their jail terms, said Towfiquzzaman. The trafficked women will be given legal assistance if they want to file a case on the incident, he said.
