Investigators with International Justice Mission, a Washington-based aid group that fights human trafficking, had spotted “Chutki” (nickname for “little girl”), a young teen, while undercover looking for prostituted children. New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof accompanied the I.J.M. investigator (who wanted to remain anonymous for his own safety) into the alleys of the Sonagachi red-light district one evening, slipped into the brothel, and climbed to the third floor. And there were Chutki and three other girls in a room, with a pimp hovering over them. The girls were offered to the investigators who demurred but said they’d return.
