Maharashtra BJP leader Shaina NC has started an online petition at “Change.org” demanding arrest “under the strictest of laws” of customers indulging in sex with minor sex-workers.
Shaina said, “While Maharashtra has been leading the efforts against human trafficking, arresting these customers under the strictest of laws would be the most crucial element in curbing the demand for children in commercial sex.”
“The petition asks the Maharashtra Chief Minister to direct the state police, specially Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs) working on rescue and rehabilitation of girls, to make it their mandate to arrest these child predators.”
In her petition, Shaina has narrated the story of a 14-year-old girl, who was given hormone injections so that she looks older and was sometimes forced to have sex with 30 men in a day.
