This article from Voice of America presents findings from a recent report based on the experiences of police and charities in Bengaluru city in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The report sheds light on the multi million rupee industry of child trafficking on India’s streets. According to the report, traffickers exploit children and force them to beg on the streets, collecting the money the children earn from begging. Many of these children are separated from their families. "Operation Rakshane,” an initiative of the Bengaluru police department, was launched in 2011 to rescue these children.
