        Duped girls rescued from train
    OUR CORRESPONDENT TELEGRAPH INDIA    Kokrajhar       Aug. 13: Orphan Sandhya Das’s luck was Sunita’s misfortune.
  Sandhya, 15, and Priya, a 20-year-old married woman (not their real names), boarded a train for Mumbai on August 7 with Sunita, who had promised to find them jobs there. However, the two were unaware that Sunita was a trafficker who lured girls from northeastern states and sold them to brothels.
  Sunita’s luck ran out when a member of Initiative for Development Education and Alternatives (IDEA), a Bongaigaon-based NGO, spotted her with two anxious girls at Guwahati railway station and became suspicious of her motives. 
  The activist boarded the same compartment of Dadar Express and called her colleagues to ask them to wait at Kokrajhar railway station. Members of the Nedan Foundation and the All Bodo Students’ Union helped arrest Sunita, who confessed that she was going to sell Priya and Sandhya to a brothel at Meera Road, off Thane in Mumbai.
  Three girls from Udalguri were rescued from traffickers under similar circumstances in October last year.
