Police rescued three teenagers from Benapole Friday morning while being trafficked in India.
 
Police rescued Sabuj Khan, 15, son of Ayub Khan of Ashrafpur village of Kachua Upazila of Chandpur, Abu Bakkar Siddique Antar, 16, son of Salauddin and Zahir, 17, son of Ayub Ali of the same area.

However, police could not arrest one Babu from Madaripur involved in this trafficking.
 
Police said the teenagers were being trafficked to India on Friday by taking huge sums of money from them with the lure of offering them good jobs in India.

Tipped off, police raided a transport office in Benapole and rescued them, said Suman Vakto, officer-in-charge (OC) of Benapole Port Police.

The family members of the boys have been informed.

"Operation is underway to arrest the traffickers," added the OC.
