Police said the rescued minor children will be produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) while adult boys and girls will be sent home after their proper verification process is completed. The entire case is being investigated keeping in mind the aspects of human trafficking and fraud. After raids, employees of the company fled locking their office located in the city's marketing complex. Ramesh Kumar, a resident of Katihar said, "I have studied till matriculation. The company staff offer a job in the Agriculture Department as a fourth-grade employee and collect Rs.27,000 in the pretext of job. The company staff fixed a target of Rs.5,000 to sell their products in the market, otherwise your job will not be finalized." Additional SP Sanjay Pandey said that the police was constantly receiving information related to fraud. "Among those rescued are many teenagers who were forcibly stopped here on the pretext of jobs.
