By Headlines Today Bureau: Within hours ofHeadlines Todayexposing a sex syndicate pushing young girls into flesh trade by injecting them with oxytocin, the National Commission for Women (NCW) served a notice to Rajasthan Police on Friday.
The state police were also quick to order an inquiry.
Headlines Todayhad exposed how girls aged between 7 and 8 were being injected with the growth hormone and pushed into flesh trade in Alwar, about 190 km from the national capital. The racket has been running in two villages Girwas and Sodawas, where the girls kidnapped from across the country are sheltered in different houses and then sold as prostitutes.
Reacting to the report former NCW chairperson Poornima Advani insisted on the strictest possible action against the culprits.
"It is important that strict action be taken against those involved. They should be behind the bars. This is one case where National Human Rights Commission together with NCW must form a joint team and investigate it. I am sure much more would be unearthed," she said.
Dr Wali, a senior professor of medicine at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, said, "This is not a normal mentality, not a normal psychology. It is a very abnormal and perverted behaviour of the locals which needs to be checked and they should be counselled, removed from the village."
However, feigning ignorance Alwar MP Jitendra Singh said, "I have no idea so I can't comment on it. I will speak once I get more information. I have to find out about it."
