The video narrates the case of a young woman from Bangladesh who was tricked with a false promise of a job in a beauty parlour. Instead, she was trafficked into the sex trade. “She had no idea what she was going to do in Mumbai. She was beaten up and forced to work there,” said Patil. The AHTU managed to rescue her and provide support. “When we rescued her, she was very happy. She was proud of her work.”

Inspector Patil also stressed the importance of support networks for survivors. “I am proud of the women who work in the prostitution industry. They are supported by their employers. I am proud of the work we do for them.”

The Mumbai Police video shines a light on the harsh realities of human trafficking while celebrating the women officers who continue to fight this battle with determination and empathy. Their work not only brings justice to victims but also restores dignity and hope to countless lives.
