40 Nepali women have been rescued from India. Of 40 women, 37 were rescued while they were on their way to 3rd country for employment while 3 were rescued from a brothel. Maiti India has placed the rescued women in three buildings in Indrapur in Ghaziabad. According to Balkrishna Pandey of Maiti India, 13, 7 and 17 were kept in a different house. The women had arrived in India after being tempted by the false prospect of good working condition and salary.
