North Lakhimpur, Aug. 13 -- Police have arrested three individuals, including a couple, for allegedly attempting to traffic a differently-abled woman from Assam's Lakhimpur district to Punjab.

The woman, a resident of Deejo-Rampur under Silaneebari Police Outpost in Assam's Lakhimpur district, was taken to Punjab by train by the trio.

They reportedly sold her to a trafficker in Punjab for Rs 50,000.

Following this, the family of the differently-abled woman lodged a complaint at Silaneebari Police Outpost a few days ago.

Realizing they might face legal consequences, the trio brought the woman back from Punjab and abandoned her at Pahumora Tiniali in Lakhimpur, where police later rescued her.
