Three women held for pushing minors into prostitution
Davangere, August 9: District Crime Branch on Thursday arrested three women on charges of kidnapping minor girls and pushing them to prostitution and rescued a minor girl. With this, the police busted a flesh trade racket which was active in the district.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, SP R Chethan said that the arrested women were identified as Geeta (33), Anitha alias Kavya (34) and Roopa (28). They were kidnapping minor girls in Davangere, Gadag and other places and pushing them to prostitution. By luring the innocent girls from bus stands or railway stations or kidnapping them, the accused have been forcing them to prostitution to make fast bucks. One among such minor girls was suffering from AIDS, he said.

PM Modi, RSS strengthening wall in path of SCs, STs, OBCs: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS were strengthening the wall standing in the path of Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs, even as he acknowledged that the UPA took steps to weaken that wall but not to the extent it should have.
Addressing the 'Samvidhan Rakshak Abhiyaan', Gandhi also referred to the function held on Constitution Day in Parliament and said that it is his guarantee, that "Modi has not read" the Constitution.
"If PM Modi would have read this book then what he does daily, he would not do it," Gandhi said, displaying a copy of the Constitution of India.
Gandhi said the country's whole system is pitted against Dalits, Adivasis and backward class people.
He said a wall obstructs the path of Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs and Modi and the RSS are strengthening that wall by "adding cement to it".
"Slowly the wall (obstructing the path of SCs, STs, OBCs) is getting strengthened. Earlier, the UPA government gave MGNREGA, the land acquisition act, the right to food...those were ways to weaken that wall. Today, when I look back, I can say the UPA government did not weaken the wall to the extent it should have, it did not do it as strongly as it should have," Gandhi said.
"However, we used to make efforts to weaken that wall but they (the BJP) are strengthening that wall by adding concrete," the former Congress president said.
Gandhi said a caste survey being carried out in Telangana is a historic step and the Congress will do the same wherever it comes to power.
