The overnight operation was conducted in Aligarh and surrounding areas as part of special anti-human trafficking Operation Khushi.

Uttar Pradesh police has busted a child trafficking racket rescuing six kids and arresting sixteen persons including nine women in an overnight operation, officials said on Monday. The overnight operation was conducted in Aligarh and surrounding areas as part of special anti-human trafficking "Operation Khushi." "Operation Khushi" was launched in view of reports of increasing cases of abduction of children in the district.
