2 women are free in India, the well-connected woman who trapped and trafficked them arrested

There were so many moments when these two women’s freedom almost didn’t become reality.

Their trafficker was a well-connected woman in their local region, associated with a lot of trafficking activity in the area. This may have given her the confidence to feel that she could call all of the shots in how she manipulated and exploited the lives of others.

The women she had lured and trapped into trafficking were kept in a building, constantly watched, only allowed to leave with a guard. When investigators and police officers posed as customers and began to arrange a meetup so they could free those the woman was victimizing, they were subject to the perpetrator’s whims. She changed her mind often on when she was willing to meet and who she would bring with her. At times, it seemed like she might back out altogether.
