Notified but dormant: What a new RTI-based report reveals about the state of Indias Anti-Human Trafficking Units

ON MAY 20, 2026, Sanjog , a social impact organisation that works on anti-human trafficking, published an Anti-Human Trafficking Unit Watch Report tracing the functionality of Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs) across all Indian states and Union Territories (UTs) between 2010 and 2025 across three phases. The report draws primarily on information received from states and UTs through RTI applications, along with inputs from lawyers, civil society organisations, and survivor testimonies. Anti-Human Trafficking Units were envisioned by the Ministry of Home Affairs as specialised units charged with preventing trafficking, conducting rescues, investigating cases, prosecuting traffickers, and aiding the rehabilitation of survivors. Their composition envisages trained law enforcement personnel working in structured coordination with Child Welfare Committees (CWCs), District Child Protection Units (DCPUs), legal aid authorities, and shelters. The report which opens with National Crime Records Bureaus (NCRB) Crime in India report reflects a rising trend in human trafficking up to 2016, when reported cases peaked at 8,132, followed by a subsequent decline. This decline, however, must be read against a troubling backdrop. The Supreme Court, while hearing a Special Leave Petition filed by a father whose eighteen-month-old daughter went missing in 2011 and remains untraced, noted that 47,000 children continue to remain untraced to date. The report cautions that the post-2016 decline in reported trafficking cases may reflect a failure of institutional documentation rather than any real reduction in the incidence of trafficking. The AHTU Watch Report assesses the functioning of Anti-Human Trafficking Units through six interdependent indicators. The reports findings across six indicators The AHTU Watch Report assesses the functioning of Anti-Human Trafficking Units through six interdependent indicators. These include: notification status, staffing and stability, budget and infrastructure, FIR autonomy, case progression, and outcomes. The research covers RTI filings and data analysis across all thirty-six states and UTs, interviews with Superintendents of Police and constables associated with AHTUs, inputs from civil society organisations, and structured consultations with survivor leaders and their collectives. At the outset, the report raises a pointed question about the apparent decline in trafficking cases after 2016 on whether it reflects an actual reduction in trafficking or merely a decline in reporting, documentation, and institutional disclosure, particularly in high-incidence states like Assam, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. Since the formation of AHTUs, the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued twenty-two advisories and operational guidelines, including advisories on treating human trafficking as organised crime and on trafficking of foreign nationals, the implementation of which, the report finds, remains fragmented across the country. On notification, relatively less densely populated UTs like Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Ladakh have a hundred percent rate of notified and functional AHTUs, while Uttar Pradesh has only thirty-five functional units out of seventy-five notified. The report underscores that notification as a separate entity, and distinct from a local police station, makes AHTUs more accessible to survivors and reduces their hesitancy in approaching the unit. On staffing and stability, AHTU personnel across states carry the additional burden of general policing duties, significantly undermining their functioning as specialised investigative units. A survivor quoted in the report noted that AHTU officials were overburdened with general policing responsibilities and often unavailable for trafficking cases. Uttar Pradesh, notably, saw a complete reversal between phases from nearly all AHTU members carrying additional charges to none doing so by Phase 3. On budget and infrastructure, the data is fractured. Some states and UTs have no dedicated funds and rely entirely on general police budgets, while others like Arunachal Pradesh received sanctioned funds but showed inconsistent utilisation across phases. The report notes that the absence of a dedicated budget is a reflection of governmental callousness toward the seriousness of trafficking offences, and it pushes the financial burden of legal follow-ups and travel onto survivors themselves. On training and capacity building, the pattern is one of persistent inconsistency. Training remains exclusively police-centric, overlooking social workers, legal aid authorities, and rehabilitation stakeholders. Content is largely confined to general legal awareness, missing crucial areas like labour trafficking identification and trauma-informed investigation. The lack of specialised training in handling trafficking, according to the survivor testimonies in the report, also leads to misdirected insensitive questions, poor documentation, lack of clarity on survivor rights and an erroneous classification of trafficking cases as ordinary labour disputes or kidnapping cases. In order to strengthen the training and capacity building of the AHTU personnels, the report recommends the development of a continuous training framework with a standardized and uniform training syllabus involving various stakeholders. On FIR autonomy and case progression, the data reveals heavy reliance on local police with minimal transfer of cases to AHTUs and even fewer investigations conducted by them. Delhi transferred thirty-one cases to its AHTU in Phase 3 but recorded zero investigations. The conviction rate across states is abysmal as states and UTs like Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and the Andamans reported zero convictions. Telangana stands out, with 980 chargesheets filed as a result of AHTU investigations. The conviction rate across states is abysmal as states and UTs like Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and the Andamans reported zero convictions. On coordination, the report finds the multi-stakeholder architecture structurally fragile across all phases. Coordination with the Crime Multi Agency Centre, launched in 2020 to facilitate interstate information sharing on trafficking, remains weak. Victim compensation, the report notes therefore, is contingent on the quality of documentation and offence classification by law enforcement, which is itself premised on inter-agency coordination that largely does not exist. The consolidated national findings reflect a system afflicted by overburdened personnel, fluctuating FIR autonomy, inconsistent training, and an almost inconsequential rate of trafficker conviction. Telangana and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are identified as having relatively strong institutional practices. Uttar Pradesh and Delhi fall into the category of moderate but uneven functionality. Meghalaya and Rajasthans Bikaner district are identified as structurally fragile but evidence-documented contexts. The reports findings echo the Supreme Courts directions in G. Ganesh v. State of Tamil Nadu (2026), in which while dealing with missing children and child trafficking, the Court directed the Union and state governments to eliminate the dormancy functioning of the AHTUs and ensure the immediate restoration of trafficked children. The malignancy of human trafficking networks, the report concludes, can only be combated by an Anti-Human Trafficking Unit whose functioning is equally systematic, and equally committed to dismantling those networks.

The Story of Manav Suthar: India's New Spin Star Who Turned a Dream Debut Into a County Deal

India recently defeated Afghanistan in a one-off Test in New Chandigarh by an innings and 300 runs registering their biggest win in Test cricket. In reply to Indias mammoth total of 564-8, the visitors were bundled out for 152 in their first outing and the debutant Manav Suthar ended with figures of 6 for 33 and a total of 7 wickets in the Test. He had received India Test cap No. 319 from veteran Kuldeep Yadav, another spinner. His performance with the ball was so impactful that his brisk 28 off 41 balls, including two magnificent sixes, remained unnoticed. He recorded many new feats: *His 6-33 are the third-best figures for an Indian bowler on a Test debut. Only Narendra Hirwani (who took eight wickets in both innings, against West Indies in 1988) has returned better figures on Test debut for India. *Only 9th Indian debutant to win a Player-of-the-Match award and only the third to record the feat for bowling (RP Singh against Pakistan in 2006 and R Ashwin against West Indies in 2011). *Only the fourth player (others: Albert Trott in 1895, Alex Kennedy in 1922, and Joel Garner in 1977) to score 25 or more, claim five or more wickets and to take at least three catches on Test debut (Suthar: 28 runs, 3 catches across both innings and seven wickets) in the game. * Fifers on Test debut for India : 1932 - Mohd Nissar v ENG, 1961 - Vaman Kumar v PAK, 1967 - S Abid Ali v AUS, 1979 - Dilip Doshi v AUS, 1988 - Narendra Hirwani v WI, 2008 - Amit Mishra v AUS, 2011 - Ravi Ashwin v WI, 2013 - Mohd Shami v WI, 2021 - Axar Patel v ENG, 2026 - Manav Suthar v AFG. *In his first over in Test cricket, he claimed his first wicket. He dismissed Abdul Malik off just his fourth ball in Test cricket, caught by Mohammed Siraj, only the eighth Indian to pick a wicket in his first over in Tests. Others in the list: Montu Banerjee 1948 against West Indies, Manohar Hardikar 1958 vs West Indies, Vaman Kumar 1961 vs Pakistan, Chetan Sharma 1984 vs Pakistan, WV Raman 1988 vs West Indies, Nilesh Kulkarni 1997 vs Sri Lanka, Tinu Yohannan 2001 vs England. * Before him, the only Rajasthan player (in first class cricket) to claim a 5w haul in Test cricket for India was Salim Durrani. Vinoo Mankad claimed all his 5w hauls prior to playing for Rajasthan. Who is this Manav Suthar? He is 23, born in Rajasthan's Ganganagar, and is already being touted as a red-ball specialist as a classical left-arm-spin bowler. His name has been in the news since a breakout 2022-23 Ranji Trophy season where he recorded 39 wickets in six matches for Rajasthan. Since then, Suthar is moving up by playing for India Emerging and India A in addition to other domestic tournaments. Made his Duleep Trophy debut in 2024 and claimed 7 for 49 on a flat Anantapur pitch. During the Ranji 2025-26 season, he claimed a match-winning 8 for 42 against Chhattisgarh. So far, he has claimed 136 first-class wickets. In the IPL, he plays for the Gujarat Titans; after spending two years as a net bowler for them he was used for only 5 matches in three seasons and was not much successful as he claimed only two wickets. Luckily, while selecting the Test side, Ajit Agarkar & Co. looked at his red ball performances. Incidentally, Jagdish Suthar, his father, got him registered in a coaching centre to be developed as a batsman. Within 48 hours, coach Dheeraj Sharma shattered his dream with the message that Sir, this fellow is made to be a spinner. Dont stop him. He is now high on the ladder of India's next-in-line spinners. When I hadn't started playing, I wanted to be like Yuvraj Singh. Even now, he's my all-time favourite, but as a bowler, I love Ashwin Bhaiyya, Manav says. He not only idolises R Ashwin but closely studies his variations and his use of the crease as 'For me, it's like he's the perfect idol.' He was at the 2023 World Cup camp also and troubled even Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He impressed selectors with his consistent performances for India A, particularly his five-wicket haul against Australia A, a few months back in a four-day match in Lucknow. He recorded figures of 28-4-93-5 on Day 1 to put India A on top. As he looks back on his rise, there's only gratitude towards his father and his coaches.

India 2030: The Infrastructure Revolution That Begins with People and the Power of Mathematics

India's electricity demand already exceeds 250 gigawatts and is projected to reach 400 gigawatts by 2032. AI data centre growth alone could add 13 gigawatts by 2031. Every gigawatt dedicated to AI infrastructure competes with industrial growth, urban development, and household demand. Yet hundreds of millions of Indians experience daily outages, voltage instability, or dependence on diesel backup despite nominal grid connection.   India 2030: The Infrastructure Revolution That Begins with People and the Power of Mathematics   The distinction matters: being connected to a grid and having continuous reliable power are two different things. Closing that gap through centralised infrastructure expansion alone would require hundreds of billions of dollars in generation, transmission, and storage investment. India's energy challenge is not only one of scale. It is one of architecture. Neutrino® Energy Group , working from a mathematical and engineering framework developed by mathematician Holger Thorsten Schubart, proposes a complementary answer: millions of intelligent decentralised infrastructure nodes, each generating continuous power at the point of consumption, collectively producing what centralised systems cannot: reliable, distributed baseload without the infrastructure chains that make expansion slow and expensive. The Negawatt Arithmetic The economic argument is numerical. One million Life Cube units operating at one kilowatt of continuous output produce one gigawatt of decentralised baseload. Ten million produce ten gigawatts. Fifty million produce fifty gigawatts. But the true value is not in the watts generated. It is in the gigawatts of centralised infrastructure that never need to be built: transmission capacity, storage systems, reserve generation, distribution reinforcement. systemic negawatt effect is not philosophical. It is the difference between affordable energy access and another generation of deferred development. The Technology The Neutrino® Energy Group's conversion systems harvest multi-channel ambient flux, including thermal gradients, electromagnetic background fields, and cosmic particle interactions, through graphene-silicon nanostructures operating as open non-equilibrium systems. The governing framework is the Schubart Master Formula : The equation describes continuous electrical output from multi-channel ambient flux integrated across active material volume, bounded by thermodynamic efficiency constraints. The output is continuous, location-independent, and requires no fuel, no moving parts, and no grid connection. Internal Monte Carlo simulations and multi-parameter evaluations indicate statistical consistency reaching 5.9 to 6.0 sigma, above the five-sigma discovery threshold conventional in modern physics. This does not assert commercial performance at industrial scale. It quantifies the internal consistency of the physical framework against established experimental physics, at a confidence level where the probability of accidental consistency is approximately one in five hundred million. The Life Cube The Life Cube is an autonomous infrastructure platform designed for target continuous output in the 1-to-1.5-kilowatt range, with integrated climate control and air-to-water purification producing 12 to 25 litres of clean drinking water per day, depending on climatic conditions. It operates without external power supply, without fuel logistics, and without grid dependency. For a remote clinic in Rajasthan, it means light, refrigerated medicines, and clean water from a single unit that arrived by road and requires no resupply. For a rural school in Bihar, it means continuous connectivity and cooling. For a village health post in Odisha, it means the gap between a nominal grid connection and actual reliable power is closed without waiting for infrastructure that may take decades to arrive. Particularly significant in India's climate is the compounding effect Schubart describes: energy produces cooling, cooling produces condensation, condensation becomes clean water. From one platform, a cycle of human development begins. India's AI Ambition and Its Energy Constraint India's stated ambition is to become a global AI power. AI infrastructure requires continuous, stable power that intermittent renewables cannot structurally guarantee. The same decentralised architecture that addresses rural energy poverty also addresses the continuous baseload requirement of AI edge computing. The Life Cube and Power Cube platforms are not alternatives to India's renewable buildout. They are the continuous-generation layer that makes that buildout complete. A Partnership, not a Sale Schubart is direct about the nature of the engagement: " I come to India not as a seller. I come as a partner. Not to take something. But to build something together ." The vision is for Indian engineers, Indian manufacturers, Indian battery specialists, Indian software developers, and Indian entrepreneurs to build this infrastructure in India. International partners contribute knowledge, co-develop platforms, and create industrial capacity that is long-term rooted in Indian industry. This is not import dependency. It is the transfer of a technology paradigm into Indian hands. " If we solve the challenges of energy, water, cooling, and connectivity together, we create far more than new infrastructure. We create new possibilities. For families. For students. For doctors. For villages. For cities. And ultimately for an entire nation ." India once gave the world the concept of zero. Perhaps India will show the world in the 21st century how billions of people can gain access to energy, water, education, and prosperity through intelligent decentralised infrastructure. The next infrastructure revolution does not begin in power plants. It begins with people and the power of mathematics.   neutrino-energy.com

Cockroach Janta Party: The Questions Its Leadership Cannot Escape

For a movement that seeks to shape public opinion on a national scale, scrutiny is not unfair. It is unavoidable MANZOOR BHAT The Image CJP Wants India to See Over the past few months, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has rapidly transformed from a little-known social media phenomenon into a movement that commands national attention. Through carefully crafted messaging and an aggressive online presence, it has projected itself as an independent platform representing ordinary Indians against an unresponsive political establishment. To its supporters, CJP is the voice of the common citizen. To its critics, however, the movement raises questions that become more difficult to ignore with every passing day. The debate surrounding CJP is no longer about its slogans or its social media campaigns. The real debate is about the people behind the movement, the political networks surrounding them, and whether the image being presented to the public reflects the full reality. As with every political movement that rises rapidly and claims to represent millions, the most important place to begin is not with what it says, but with who is leading it. The Man Behind the Movement At the centre of CJP stands its founder, Abhijeet Dipke. For a movement that presents itself as an independent citizens initiative, Dipkes political background has become a subject of increasing scrutiny. Public reports and archived material have linked him to the Aam Aadmi Partys social media ecosystem, while old posts attributed to him reportedly show him expressing gratitude towards senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia and reaffirming his commitment to the party. Dipke has maintained that he stepped away from active political involvement after moving to the United States for higher studies. However, that explanation has done little to silence questions. In an age where political campaigns, digital operations, and narrative-building are increasingly conducted online, physical distance means very little. Critics, therefore argue that the more relevant question is not whether Dipke left India, but whether he truly left the political ecosystem he had been associated with. On their own, such associations are not evidence of wrongdoing. India is a democracy, and political participation is a legitimate right. However, the issue is not whether Dipke once had political affiliations. The issue is whether the public is being given the complete picture. When a movement presents itself as a fresh alternative to conventional politics while being led by individuals with documented political histories, questions naturally arise about how independent that movement truly is. This is where the story begins to move beyond personalities and towards patterns. The Faces Around the Movement The questions surrounding CJP do not end with its founder. If anything, they become even more interesting when one examines the individuals the movement recently appointed as its public faces. When CJP announced Ashutosh Ranka, Vijeta Dahiya, and Saurav Das as official spokespersons, the decision immediately attracted attention because each of them carried baggage from the same political ecosystem that CJP insists it stands apart from. Among the three, Ashutosh Rankas links are perhaps the most direct. Ranka previously served as both a national spokesperson and state spokesperson for the Aam Aadmi Party in Rajasthan. For years, he represented the party in public debates, authored opinion pieces defending its positions, and regularly appeared in television discussions as one of AAPs recognised voices. His presence within CJP, therefore, raises an obvious question. If the movement is genuinely detached from traditional party structures, why are former party spokespersons occupying such visible positions within its leadership? Vijeta Dahiya presents a different but equally interesting case. While he was never formally enrolled as an AAP office- bearer, his public record reflects extensive support for the party and its campaigns. He actively promoted AAP during previous elections and became associated with a broader digital ecosystem that frequently aligned itself with opposition narratives. Dahiya is also known for his work as a researcher and scriptwriter for Dhruv Rathee, a prominent political commentator who has publicly expressed support for AAP on multiple occasions. The third spokesperson, Saurav Das, further complicates the picture. While not an official AAP functionary, Das built a reputation through activism, investigative reporting, and commentary that often intersected with issues involving senior AAP leadership. His name gained wider attention during legal controversies related to reporting and social media commentary surrounding the Delhi excise policy case. Critics have long argued that his work frequently aligned with narratives favourable to the party and its leadership. Viewed individually, each of these backgrounds can be explained away as a coincidence. Yet politics is not usually analysed through isolated coincidences. It is analysed through recurring patterns. When a movement that claims to be independent repeatedly places individuals with links, sympathies, or professional histories connected to the same political ecosystem at the centre of its public operations, scepticism becomes inevitable. The question is no longer about a single individual. It becomes a question about the ecosystem from which the movement has emerged. A Familiar Political Playbook Indian politics has witnessed this model before. More than a decade ago, the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare captured the imagination of millions. It began as a citizens movement that claimed to stand above political parties and ideological divisions. Yet over time, that movement evolved into the Aam Aadmi Party, one of the most successful political experiments in modern Indian history. The lesson from that period was simple. Public anger can be transformed into political capital. Many critics see echoes of that strategy in the rise of CJP. Once again, a movement has emerged claiming to represent ordinary citizens against a flawed system. Once again, social media serves as the primary engine of mobilisation. Once again, anti-establishment messaging forms the core of its public identity. The similarities do not automatically prove coordination or control. But they are significant enough to invite scrutiny. Political movements are rarely judged solely by what they claim to be. They are judged by their methods, their leadership, and the broader context in which they emerge. This broader context makes the
