(Solapur, INDIA)—Three girls from different states of India, sold off to brothels in Solapur city a few months ago, were rescued last week by Indian Rescue Mission (IRM), an organization that rescues minor girls forced into prostitution and offers justice and rehabilitation for these victims.

These girls were rescued from a city hotel in a joint operation conducted by Indian Rescue Mission and Maharastra State police on October 28, 2010, after they sniffed out the trafficking racket based on the investigations conducted by IRM.

The police swung into action and arrested a lady brothel keeper and the lodge owner, along with other pimps who were engaged in forcing these girls into prostitution.

This trafficking racket is a large one and it is very connected with many other rackets operating in other parts of the country.

Among the rescued girls, three were minors and were trafficked from different parts of the country.

The girls told the police that they were sold to the brothels in the city and were forced to entertain clients who visited the brothel.

The girls have been placed in government "After Care" homes for healing and rehabilitation.
