<strong>Manual</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Police</strong> on Anti Human Trafficking 42 8. Physical injuries and trauma noticed on the victims need not be recorded in the FIR. T/F (F) 9. During the registration of the FIR, the IO should insist on the survivor giving as many details of trauma faced as possible. T/F (F) Investigation 34 The purpose of the investigative process is that the traffickers and other exploiters are identified by the survivor, evidences collected against them are properly documented and further steps taken as per the law. <strong>Police</strong> officers need to interview the rescued persons regarding their personal details as well as in<strong>for</strong>mation about the offenders. Interviews are to be carried out by a female police officer or in the presence of a female NGO worker. The Record of statement (see exercise on Interaction with Survivor) made by the survivor is extremely essential <strong>for</strong> effective prosecution. The survivors must be presented be<strong>for</strong>e the Magistrate at the earliest. Rescued children should be produced be<strong>for</strong>e the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). Quiz – Investigation: The following activity is suggested to rein<strong>for</strong>ce participants’ knowledge of the processes involved in investigation. [Ans] Collection of Material Objects (MO) 1. The IO should collect some, and not other, materials from the SOC according to how important they are considered. T/F (F) 2. The IO may go back post-rescue to collect MOs at leisure. T/F (F) 3. Regardless of their sex, an IO can search a female offender. T/F (F) 4. It is important <strong>for</strong> IOs to search the vehicles of transportation at the SOC. T/F (T) 5. A stop along the journey of the trafficker and the survivor is not necessary to be investigated. T/F (F) 6. IOs are not authorized to search virtual databases (such as emails, sms, electronic gadgets etc.) at the SOC. T/F (F) Interrogation The interrogation of the accused in human trafficking crimes help the investigator not only to focus on the prosecution of the offender but also to locate other traffickers/ offenders. Due to the organized and clandestine nature of HT, the interrogation of the trafficker involves exploring all dimensions of demandsupply patterns, contacts, sources and witnesses in the source-transit-destination continuum. Furthermore, it is important <strong>for</strong> the IO to pay attention to both intra, and inter-district, state and international linkages. All communication channels, criminal antecedents and modus operandi of the traffickers need to be examined. If the arrested person turns out to be a victim/survivor, the IO must accord this person the status of a victim and not an accused. Using scientific techniques of interrogation, <strong>for</strong> example polygraphs, flowcharts etc., will enhance the IO’s ability during interrogation. The arrest of the accused person should be done without delay. No woman should be arrested after sunset and be<strong>for</strong>e sunrise, except in certain circumstances. Among the accused, the exploiters can include traffickers, transporters, conspirators, abettors, financiers, abusers
<strong>Police</strong> Action Quiz – Interrogation of Accused: The following activity is suggested to rein<strong>for</strong>ce participants’ knowledge on interrogation of the accused in cases of HT. [Ans] 1. Agencies which can be associated <strong>for</strong> interrogation are: a. Financial institutions such as income tax departments. b. Immigration department c. Different police agencies d. All of the above (d) 2. Interviewing the accused be<strong>for</strong>e interrogation is not permitted. T/F (F) 3. Team interviews are effective in the interrogation of the accused. T/F (T) 4. Translators can be used as interrogators. T/F (F) Interaction with the Survivors: 35 It is equally important to understand the harm done to the survivors.
