Acting on a tip off, the railway police conducted a raid on Samparkranti Express when it arrived at the Kanpur central railway station around 9:30 last night and rescued 10 girls, including four minors, GRP in-charge Nandji Yadav said.
The two accused were taken to Government Railway Police station and are being interrogated while the girls were handed over to Childline India Foundation, Yadav said, adding that the family members of the girls have also been informed.
Prima facie it appears to be a case of human trafficking but investigations are underway in this regard, he said.
