Police in Parsa district Tuesday arrested two women who had allegedly trafficked two girls to India. They were arrested in Birgunj Metropolitan City-16.
The arrested have been identified as Laxmi Das (20) of Birtamod-9 in Jhapa district and Khusbu BK (19) of Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City-12 in Sunsari district.
