All through March and April 2006 there were several news reports about a senior official in the Ministry of External Affairs being charged for criminal conspiracy in a case of human trafficking. The case is under investigation by the CBI. Later the media drew attention to the sex racket in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, where people came out in protests seeking the names of politicians and bureaucrats involved in it. Then came the Nithari case in Noida, where possibilities of trafficking of children for sexual abuse as well as organ trade cannot be ruled out. The more recent one is the Gujarat politician Babu Bhai Katara, who was caught trying to smuggle a woman and a child out of the country, getting the two to pose as his wife and child.
