Bengaluru: Around 150 minor children were detained by the city’s Cantonment Railway Police based on a passenger tip-off that the children were being trafficked.
The children, aged between 8 and 12 years, claimed that they were heading to their respective Madrasas after vacation. Many said they were studying in Madrasas in Shimoga and Tumakuru and were going back after their Ramadan holidays. The same has been confirmed by some of the guardians of the children who have come forward since the detention.
The police and child welfare department officials are currently investigating the case.
