Freedom Firm heard about Kanika two months ago. When our investigators first reached Kanika’s last known location, she was visiting her village to celebrate a festival. Our investigators kept surveilling the area until we received information that Kanika had returned. Immediately, we went to the location to verify her presence in a brothel outside of Nagpur. Next, our team met with the Superintendent of Police to present data about Kanika and he promised police cooperation for the rescue.
On October 22nd at 7:20PM, Freedom Firm joined the police to rescue
Kanika (17 years old) and arrest the 38-year old female brother keeper. We proceeded to a police station and filed an First Information Report (FIR). The next day Kanika, police officers, and the brothel keeper went to court. The court ordered the brothel keeper to remain in custody. Our team stayed with Kanika and the police for her medical check up at a government hospital.
Our social workers will continue gathering details from Kanika so they can visit her home and learn how to protect her.
