CID sources said they caught him at the NSC Bose International Airport, on basis of a tip-off.
They said the girl was being taken to Bangladesh in all probability.
Sanjoy Mukherjee, IGP (Special), CID, said preliminary investigations revealed that the girl had probably been raped several times.
“She is being given appropriate medical attention and the medical report is awaited. She has been traumatised by her experience.”
Mukherjee added that the arrested man, Sheikh Alamgir (22), of Domkal, Murshidabad, had a record for human
trafficking.
The girl, too, comes from the same place, once again establishing Murshidabad as a hotbed for human trafficking in the region.
Alamgir had reportedly promised the parents of the girl that he would marry her.
