The National Human Rights Commission issued notices to Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra over reports of widespread minor girl trafficking.
The rights panel reacted to news reports exposing a network operating along the Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan borders.
Parents reportedly sell their young daughters to middlemen for 3 to 5 lakh rupees due to severe poverty.
Middlemen traffic these young girls using forged documents that falsely present them as legally adopted children.
Traffickers later resell these victims for 35 to 40 lakh rupees upon reaching adulthood in various Maharashtra cities.
Criminal syndicates force these young women into the sex trade after altering their identities to evade law enforcement.
The commission stated that these allegations represent severe violations of basic human rights.
The panel demanded detailed reports from state chief secretaries and police chiefs within two weeks.
Official notices require full disclosure on actions taken to dismantle these trafficking networks across state borders.
The investigative news report cited four specific cases detailing how parents surrendered their children to traffickers.
Authorities must now account for systemic law enforcement failures that allowed cross-border human trafficking to flourish unchecked.
