The Supreme Court held that trafficking of children for commercial sexual exploitation can attract prosecution under the POCSO Act, along with relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, ensuring stronger legal protection for minors.
Delhi High Court issued notice to Delhi Police over alleged mishandling of minor girls rescued from sex trafficking. The plea claims police lapses, including no FIR and poor rehabilitation, led to the girls being re-trafficked again.
