The Bengaluru police had rescued the girls and handed them over to CWC from where they were sent to Abhayashram, a city-based NGO to provide skill training in tailoring and beautician course, along with accommodation, as part of a rehab programme.
Two minor girls from Bangladesh, who escaped from a rescue centre at Wilson Garden in Bengaluru, were found in Jammu, in Jammu and Kashmir, after seven months.
The police are in touch with an NGO to shelter the girls. Efforts are on to bring them back to Bengaluru.
The duo are among six girls who were rescued by the Bengaluru police seven years ago. The girls — aged 16 and 17 — had come Bengaluru after crossing the porous Indo-Bangla border. They had stayed in Kolkata and Jammu before coming to Bengaluru.
The Bengaluru police had rescued the girls and handed them over to CWC from where they were sent to Abhayashram, a city-based NGO to provide skill training in tailoring and beautician course, along with accommodation, as part of a rehab programme.
On March 22 this year, the duo hoodwinked the security at the centre and escaped. They travelled back to Jammu where they worked for some time.
Based on a complaint by Vinutha A., secretary of Abhayashram, the Wilson Garden police registered a case and questioned the other girls to know the places where the duo would possibly visit. The police alerted their counterparts in Jammu and asked them to keep a watch, which eventually yielded results.
