Patna high court to Centre: When will 3 Bangladeshi women be sent home?

PATNA: The Patna high court has asked the central government when the three Bangladeshi women languishing in the Nari Niketan at Gai Ghat in Patna for the last six years would be sent back home.
The division bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice S Kumar was hearing a criminal writ petition in the nature of habeas corpus filed by one Marium Khatoon. As the Centre did not reply, the matter was adjourned to Wednesday.
The bench on Monday had expressed annoyance over the lack of detention centre in Bihar due to which the three Bangladesh nationals are being kept continuously at the shelter home since 2015. They are the victims of human trafficking.
The high court had formed a committee of three advocates which had inspected the Gai Ghat shelter home and submitted report that they were being provided with food, clothes, medical assistance and other requirements and not facing any sexual or mental harassment there.
