With the phone number and location in hand, the IP planned to activate the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit to plan a rescue. However, this news reached Sadaf\u2019s trafficker, and caused him to send her back to her village. Once home, Sadaf said that the man had lured her with the promise of marriage and a better life, and once she arrived in Bangalore, he locked her up in a room with a plan to keep her there until he could sell her.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1188759 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1188759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sadaf\u2019s trafficker has not yet been arrested.
