Rosy (name changed), 22, a resident of Sorakhutte, Kathmandu, lived with her family and worked in a garment factory. She met Shyam (name changed) on Facebook, who offered her a job in India with a higher salary. Rosy agreed and they secretly left. Shyam also instructed her to tell that she was going to meet her relatives in India if anyone asked. After crossing the India-Nepal border, Shyam left her at a house in Pune, where she realized she was among other Nepali women and forced into sexual encounters with strangers.
Back in Nepal, Rosy’s family alerted Maiti Nepal about her disappearance. Maiti Nepal staff personally traveled to Pune to rescue her. Using the information from the missing case filed at Maiti Nepal, they tracked her down to a brothel where she had been trafficked. Working together with the police, Maiti Nepal conducted a successful raid on the brothel, liberating Rosy from captivity. She was safely brought back to the Pune Police Station and later transferred to a secure hostel with the assistance of Pune Police, Maiti Nepal, and her mother.
Currently, Rosy is under the protection of Maiti Nepal in Kathmandu. An FIR registration of the case has already been reported to Anti Human Trafficking Bureau Nepal, and investigations are ongoing to identify Shyam, the real culprit responsible for the trafficking. Rosy is determined to testify in court when the case goes to trial at the Kathmandu District Court.
