Top1. Introduction
Child Kidnapping is one of the most hated crimes globally. The person who commits such a crime deserves the hardest punishment. But, despite the strict laws imposed by almost every country, the graph of abducted child crime is on increasing phase day-by-day (Gurung, 2020). This abducted child is usually forcefully dragged into the organized business of begging, pick-pocketing, prostitution, etc. Some International Gangs extract human organs from abducted child and sells them at high rates (Boruah & Roy, 2021). Article 23 in Indian Constitution strictly prohibits human trafficking and forced labor. India is also putting hard efforts into stopping this crime in the country, but, results are not in favor of these efforts. Department of State, United States has placed India in the category of Tier-II Country due to the absence of considerable results against Child Trafficking (Beyrer, 2004).
Total 63,407 children went missing in the year 2016 in India, according to the latest data from the National Crime Records Bureau (Joshi, 2016), which translates to an average of 174 every day and it is more shocking that more than 51% of missing children was a girl child. Indian Police are doing great efforts to overcome this social and legal menace. According to IndiaSpend (Chaitanya, 2015), the five prime purposes of Human Trafficking have been depicted in Figure 1.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau’s updated data for 2020, Delhi reported 3,770 minors (aged below 18) being hijacked -- the highest across 19 metropolitan cities with a citizens of more than two million.Bengaluru reported 654 such cases and Kolkata 266. The number of cases in Mumbai and Chennai was 1,150 and 14 respectively, according to the NCRB article that was released recently. According to the wise cracked of Delhi data, 69 cases involved children below the age of six. The number of cases registered in the age bracket of 6-12 and 12-16 stood at 368 and 1,929 respectively. Around 1,404 cases involved minors in the age group of 16-18 years. Cornerwise, most victims were girls. A total of 2,749 girls were hijacked and 1,021 victims were boys, according to the data.
According to Delhi Police data, between January 1 and December 31, 2019, 5412 children were reported missing, of which 3336 were traced --a recovery rate of 61.64%. In 2020, at least 4297 children were reported missing, while 4052 were recovered – a recovery rate of 94.29% and an improvement of 32.65 percentage points compared to 2019. These cases included those in which kidnapping/abduction cases were registered and those in cases were not registered, but children were reported missing.
One of the major problems which the police officials face is gathering/extracting personal details from the recovered child. In general, when a kidnapped child is recovered by police, he is not in the state of explaining his details due to fear factors or any other reasons. Sometimes, Police officers make that child comfortable by their sober counseling but it is not always possible and easy to do the same.
To make this inquiry convenient and general, novel software named Rakshak has been proposed. Rakshak is software that will surely be helpful to understand the statements of recovered toddlers who are not able to properly speak. It is based on Machine Learning techniques for error detection and correction in Text.
