State women's commission wants police co-ordination with NGOs

Mumbai, Sep 13 (UNI) NGOs be roped in by the police to crack down the brothels as per the directives of the High Court, Maharashtra Commission for Women's Chairperson Rajani Satav has suggested.

In a statement here yesterday, Ms Satav said police alone could not search crowded areas and brothels to look for minor girls who are victims of human trafficking, and are induced into prostitution.

However, HC has directed to seek CBI help in raiding brothels.

A division bench comprising Justices J N Patel and R S Dalvi yesterday observed that to prevent minor girls from being forced into prostitution, the action had to initiate at the police station level.
