Basic concepts Victim is treated as a VOCSET (Victim of
Commercial Sexual Exploitation & Trafficking).
Trafficking is a continuing offence. If a victim is rescued at the age of 20
years and in her statement if she mentions that she was trafficked when she was 17 + all IPC sections like 166 (A), 172, 173 IPC.
IPC sections enable the I.O to lay charge sheet quickly and obtain trial dates, finish the trial quickly.
Victim/ witnesses need protection and support.
IGP, CID
Non financial issues: Giving rewards/ medals to the officers,
NGOs doing sustained Anti Human Trafficking work during Independence Day / Republic Day / Anti Human Trafficking Day.
Visual and print media of Govt to include Anti Human Trafficking issues regularly – Dos and Don’ts.
Panchayat Raj institutions should be empowered by local GOs to tackle AHT work – preventive role.
IGP, CID
