Section 143 of BNS : Section 143: Trafficking of person.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi, a 35-year-old man from a small village in Uttar Pradesh, is promised a well-paying job in Mumbai by a man named Arjun. Arjun tells Ravi that he will be working in a factory and will be able to send money back to his family. However, when Ravi arrives in Mumbai, he is taken to a secluded location and forced to work in a brothel. Arjun uses threats and physical violence to prevent Ravi from escaping. This situation falls under Section 143 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 as Arjun has trafficked Ravi for the purpose of exploitation using threats and coercion.

Example 2:

Meena, a 16-year-old girl from a poor family in Bihar, is approached by a woman named Sita who offers to take her to Delhi for a better education and job opportunities. Sita gives Meena's parents a sum of money to gain their consent. Once in Delhi, Meena is forced into domestic servitude, working long hours without pay and under harsh conditions. Sita has trafficked Meena by practicing fraud and deception, and by giving payments to Meena's parents to gain control over her. This is a clear violation of Section 143 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.

Example 3:

A group of children from a rural area in West Bengal are abducted by a gang and transported to a city where they are forced to beg on the streets. The gang members use physical violence and threats to control the children and ensure they bring back a certain amount of money each day. This constitutes trafficking under Section 143 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, as the children are being exploited for beggary through abduction and coercion.

Example 4:

A police officer named Rajesh is found to be involved in a human trafficking ring. He uses his position to facilitate the transportation and harboring of young women who are then forced into prostitution. Rajesh abuses his power as a public servant to aid in the trafficking of these women. Under Section 143 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Rajesh faces imprisonment for life, which means imprisonment for the remainder of his natural life, and is also liable to a fine.

Example 5:

An organ trafficking racket is uncovered in a hospital in Chennai. The hospital staff, including doctors and nurses, are found to be involved in the forced removal of organs from unsuspecting patients. These organs are then sold on the black market. The staff members have trafficked these patients for the purpose of exploitation by forced removal of organs, which is a serious offense under Section 143 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.
