Dimapur/ Delhi | August 21
A 21-year-old Naga woman was rescued from Delhi and brought back to Nagaland on August 20. She had arrived in Delhi a few weeks prior in search of employment before her rescue.
Explaining the turn of events, the SKKD informed in a statement that the incident occurred on August 18. The victim was reportedly found sleeping alone in a park in Kishangarh village, South West Delhi, by a passerby, who later informed the police.
After being brought to the Kishangarh Police Station, efforts were made to ascertain her identity, as she did not have any ID card. However, upon discovering that she was from Nagaland, the police informed a representative of the Naga Students’ Union Delhi (NSUD), who subsequently alerted the office of the Sümi Kiphimi Kuqhakulu Delhi/Sumi Students Union Delhi (SKKD).
As per the union, based on the inquiries, it was determined that the woman was a destitute who had come to Delhi in search of employment a few weeks prior.
After a medical examination conducted at Safdarjung Hospital with the assistance of the police, custody of the woman was transferred to the SKKD. She was subsequently lodged at the Nagaland State Guest House, New Delhi.
“With help from Special Police Unit for NE Region (SPUNER), Sümi Community Delhi, ImpulseNGO Network (INGON) and the Resident Commissioner of Nagaland House, arrangements were made for her return to Dimapur,” the SKDD informed.
On August 20, the woman was flown back to Dimapur where she has been taken to the district Sakhi One Stop Centre (SOSC) for rehabilitation.
The student body mentioned that “details regarding the circumstances under which the rescued woman managed to reach Delhi remain unknown.”
Meanwhile, an official from SOSC she confirmed that the victim is currently under its care.
So far, no further details have been revealed, she said.
The official, however, expressed concern over the increasing trend of out-of-state migration for employment opportunities and the associated risks, particularly for women.
She noted that their centre has received several cases related to human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Many individuals, often undereducated, are lured with false promises of well-paid jobs in mainland cities, she added.
Recently as well, two women from Nagaland working at a spa in Kerala were arrested by the police as their establishment was unregistered, she said.
The SOSC has been established to provide integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence and in distress, both in public and private spaces, all under one roof.
