Young girls are taken from their homes on the pretense that they will either be married off or give jobs. These lies might seem as a life-saver for the parent, but are anything but that for the young girls.
Posing as interested “buyers”, police have rescued a 15-year-old girl from Bihar who was being “sold” in the capital by two dealers for Rs 3.5 lakhs.
Police said the minor was brought to Delhi by one of the dealers a year ago on the pretext of marriage and pushed into prostitution. The two accused have been arrested and the victim reunited with her family in Bihar.
The dealers landed in the police net when they called up the SHO of Kamla Market in central Delhi, mistaking him for another dealer, and said they wanted to sell a “beautiful minor girl”. A police team then posed as brothel owners and met the accused several times before arresting them from New Delhi railway station. The accused have been identified as Amar, 24, and Ranjeet Shah, 27, both from Bihar.
