Police rescued six children, while being trafficked to India, from Sadipur border at Jessore yesterday.

The rescued children are Pappu, 12, of Chouddagram upazila in Comilla, Faruq, 7, of Sadar upazila in Kishoreganj, Kamrul, 8, of Nandail upazila in Mymensingh, Parvez, 10, of Borshijora thana in Moulvibazar, Sattar, 9, of Bhanga upazila in Faridpur and Najmul, 10, of Muladi upazila in Barisal district.

Police said a gang of human traffickers brought the children to Khulna from the capital on Tuesday and later took them to Benapole by train promising them good jobs in India.

But when the traffickers along with them were passing the check post the children cried out for help seeing the police. Sensing danger the traffickers fled the scene leaving the children behind.

Police said they would hand over the children to their guardians.
