The women, aged between 20 and 40, were brought to Nepal on Nepal Airlines plane at around 12:45pm at the initiative of the Indian Embassy in New Delhi, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare.
The 27 women were being trafficked to Dubai and other Gulf cities two weeks ago for employing in risky jobs, including commercial sex, the Nepalese authorities said.
Earlier, Indian authorities had handed over the rescued women to Nari Niketan, a Delhi-based, social organisation, for repatriation. Their air ticket was borne by the government.
The Nepal Police headquarters stated that they were flown by agents to New Delhi on the pretext of providing them lucrative jobs in various countries including Kurdistan, Tanzania and Kenya, but were actually heading towards Gulf countries with false identities and fake passport through illegal means.
Based on their statements,a CIB official said that the rescued women were in their custody for further investigation into the human trafficking racket.Police have arrested Bishnu Tamang, 29, and Ishwori Neupane, 32, of Nepal from Mahipalpur, Delhi.
