Hundreds of Indians, mostly from the western states of Punjab and Gujarat, attempt to cross the US-Canada border each year, braving harsh weather conditions in search of a better life and job opportunities.

"We are now trying to nab the human traffickers who managed to send this family and others abroad via illegal channels," said police official AK Jhala in the state capital of Gandhinagar.

"The nexus of human trafficking runs deep, often involving local politicians too," said Jhala, adding that people even sell their land and homes to fund efforts to get to the United States or Canada.
