KAPILVASTU: Six Nepali girls held in Delhi’s Parari Jorda-based brothel have been rescued at the initiation of an NGO working for rehabilitation of women and children.

Bhattarai claimed that the girls were trafficked to India via the Nepalgunj- Krishnanagar checkpoint on February 12.

The girls were rescued at the initiation of Peace Rehabilitation Center.

PRC’s Area Coordinator Bhattarai informed that four among those rescued are from Morang and one each from Jhapa and Parbat.
