arjun was a child trafficker he has bought and sold children for his own profits he has acted as a middleman preying on poor families and persuading them to hand over their children and then passing them on to brokers in the cities. he's a known figure in this community as he's responsible for taking several girls away from the village. at a time i was a cycle mechanic in the village a man from delhi came to my house i asked if he could get me a job in delhi i was in debt and needed money i had a debt of 16000 rupees so i went to delhi and he told me why don't you supply me with the girls from your village and you can take the commission from the families i used to get 200 rupees for each girl i sold $200.00 rupees is less than $5.00 in contrast to buffalo here can fetch up to $350.00. but arjun knows of this money is a life source to the desperately poor villagers he targeted. as we pressed him for
