A team of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Sunday arrested eight members of an international human trafficking gang and rescued two victim girls from Kamrangirchar, Keraniganj and Mugda areas of the capital.
"A good number of passports, photocopies of visas were seized from the spot," RAB confirmed in a media briefing held at RAB-11 headquarters in Narayanganj's Siddhirganj on Monday afternoon.
