THE SUNDAY INDIAN EXCLUSIVE

A TSI sting operation finds how paedophilia has turned into a thriving business in Delhi, NCR and Mumbai. Taking advantage of kids’ poverty and craze for brands and gadgets, middlemen get rich by supplying minor boys and girls to satiate the desire of sick, rich men, many of them NRIs and foreigners. By Abhishek Kumar and Neeraj Rajput

We could feel that Ansh did not appreciate us having a long conversation with the boy. But since we don’t want to take them to a hotel or any other place, we need all our answers then and there. It’s an uncomfortable situation; but we press on. We said we were surprised that kids were so easily available here in India too. The boy immediately replied that India was getting rapidly westernised and you get to find such kids in virtually every corner of the country. He added he wanted money so that he could buy a Yamaha Fazer motorcycle. Asked if he would feel awkward later, he categorically said no.
Boy-You are from Australia?

TSI- Ya, I am from Australia. You must be studying?
Boy-
Smiles

TSI- I am surprised that this all happens here and availability is so easy.
Boy-
Everything is getting westernised here too and people are copying everything.

TSI-How do you know him (Ansh)?
Boy-
I got in touch with him through e-mail.

TSI- Is this your first time?
Boy-
No. Must be 7th or 8th time.

TSI- Are you in touch with others as well?
Boy-
Yes, there are many.

TSI- Why did you come into this profession?
Boy-
I have to buy a motorbike.

TSI- Which one?
Boy-
Yamaha’s Fazer.

TSI- You must be feeling really awkward to do all this?
Boy-
Not at all.

TSI- Is this a hobby or for money?
Boy-
Mainly for money.

TSI- You have done it earlier as well, hope nothing bothers.
Boy –
Not at all. I have already done it 5 to 7 times.
