Dozens of migrants were found in stash houses run by human smugglers in an upscale section of Washington, DC, immigration officials said Thursday.

 

A total of73migrants — including 13 children — were hidden in six houses in the city’s northwest section, where the median home price is $750,000, according to NBC News.

 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers also found $95,000 and a small amount of cocaine in the homes during the bust Wednesday, according to internal documents cited by the outlet.

 

The bust comes on the heels of horrifying recent reports of migrants being subjected to dangerous conditions during their journeys to the US — including an incident in which 53 people suffocated in the back of a sweltering truck in San Antonio, Texas, last month.

 

The deaths, which resulted in the indictment of two men, was the worst-known fatal smuggling incident in US history.

In a huge embarrassment for the BJP, one of its senior office-bearers in Meghalaya has been found to be involved in allegedly running a brothel in the north-eastern state. This was revealed after the police conducted a raid on a resort owned by BJP’s Meghalaya vice-president Bernard N Marak in Tura. The police rescued six children and arrested as many as 73 people.

 

West Garo Hills SP Vivekanand Singh Rathore, according to news agency PTI, said that Rimpu Bagan, a farmhouse owned by militant-turned-politician Marak, was raided on the basis of a tip-off.

 

Rathore said that the police had rescued six minors including four boys and two girls. These children were allegedly kept locked inside dingy ‘cabin-like unhygienic rooms at Rimpu Bagan, run by Bernard N Marak and his accomplices as a brothel, for the purpose of prostitution.’

 

All rescued children have been handed over to the District Child Protection Officer for safe custody and further actions.

 

A news flash by ANI said that the police had also seized 36 vehicles, 414 liquor bottles, 49 mobile phones, sharp weapons and other items during the raid conducted at Rimpu Bagan area in the district.

 

One victim told the court that she and her friend were taken to Rimpu Bagan, where a room was hired and they were sexually assaulted multiple times.

 

The police found many people without their clothes during the raid. All of them were arrested. A case has been filed against the accused under IPC and the Immoral Trafficking (Prevention) Act, 1956. The police have asked Marak to surrender at the Shillong Sadar police station and cooperate with the investigation.

 

Marak, for his part, has attacked the state chief minister for hatching a conspiracy. In a statement, the sex-racket accused said that Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma was getting desperate since ‘he knows he is losing his South Tura seat to the BJP.’

Who is Marak?

 

Marak, who owns the farmhouse, has been accused of running the trafficking racket.

 

The vice-president of BJP’s Meghalaya unit and a member of the district council from Tura, Marak is a former militant who took to politics.

 

The 46-year-old is a son of a forest official and a lecturer. He joined the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC), an insurgent group that aimed to carve out a separate state for the Garo tribe called “Achik Land”.

 

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, the proposal for “Achik Land” included clubbing together the Garo areas of Assam and Meghalaya’s West Khasi Hills.

 

In 2004, the Centre, the state government and ANVC signed a ceasefire agreement. But the insurgent group did not keep its words. In 2011, Marak parted ways with his mentor Dilash Marak and formed a splinter group, ANVC-B. In 2014, both the militant groups laid down arms.

 

Marak was an independent signatory to the peace agreement between the Centre and the ANVC in 2014, reports The Indian Express.

 

When did he join the BJP?

 

After the peace talks, Marak joined the BJP. He rose to prominence in 2017 after he quit the party to protest against the Centre’s ban on the sale of cattle for slaughter. While the notification was later withdrawn, after his resignation, many left the Meghalaya unit. Back then, Marak was the chief of the party’s West Garo Hills district unit.

 

In 2019, he rejoined the BJP and won from Tura in the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council election held in 2021.

 

“He is a good party worker and was working to expand the party’s base in the Garo hills,” a BJP leader told ThePrint.

 

Marak, who was creating a place for himself in the party, has now left it red-faced. The brothel row might strain ties between the BJP and the National People’s Party (NPP), the leading partner in the ruling coalition in Meghalay
