Sarita had lost her husband a year back and was now the single parent to her two children Dipesh (5 years) and Siddhesh (7 years). Siddhesh and Dipesh were like any other kid of their age but immensely caring for each other. The train journey started with 'kirtan' being sung loudly by two Sadhus and it ended for Sarita at Moghulsarai Junction when even as others were realizing that their belongings were stolen, Sarita realized that her kids were missing too. This started aa series of investigation which started from Moghulsarai and travelled via Ara, Buxar to end in Gaya. It also unfolded a mafia, the BEGGING MAFIA, their modus operandi of luring/abducting kids and thrusting them into the profession of begging. When SP Rajesh Sinha started the investigation, he was not sure where to look for the first clue because even the CCTV footages were clueless. But then he, like many of our Police Officers was not ready to give up. An informer and n unclear CCTV footage led him to Buxar. In Buxar he found thee ways the Begging Mafia is run. It was run by a lady who ran an NGO, Udaan as a cover up. Udaan was registered as an NGO that took care of street children, picking them off from streets and educating them. The lady, Kurti Devi had people working under her and one of them was Gaffoor Bhai. Gaffoor Bhai would find/buy kids and then train them before handing ghem over to Kurti Devi. Siddhesh and Dipesh were bought by Gaffoor Bhai for a meager sum of 3000/-. Shocking as it may sound, the guys who sold them off were the train robbers and their intention was not to abduct kids but because the kids had seen them stealing, they had to take the kids away. Hence a robbery incidentally turned into an abduction bringing Sarita's world down.See less
