On August 16, the Ahmedabad Railway Protection Force (RPF) arrested two individuals identified as Aquib Ansari (24) and Syed Ibrahim (21) for kidnapping two minor girls and allegedly operating a human trafficking network. The police also rescued the girls, aged 15 and 17 respectively, and recovered a fake Aadhaar ID from one of the accused in the name of 'Aryan'.
During initial questioning, the accused is believed to have confessed that they had connected with the girls through social media and online gaming platforms before taking them to Jodhpur railway station, allegedly planning to travel onward to Bengaluru.
According to police, the accused also deleted communication records from his phone and threw the device out of the moving train to destroy evidence. The phone was later found at Nadiad railway station.
During the investigation, police also found photos of the girls' actual Aadhaar cards, stored on the accused's phones. Further details in the case are awaited.
The girls were rescued as part of "Operation Seva," after RPF Ahmedabad received a tip-off from Kudi Bhagtasni police station in Jodhpur City about the missing minors. Acting on the information, an RPF team searched the Jodhpur–KSR Bengaluru Superfast Express and found one of the girls on board.
