JAIPUR: Anti-human trafficking cell of Dholpur police on Monday arrested three persons for allegedly purchasing and keeping a minor girl in hostage. They found the girl in the Taajpur village under the Basedi police station.
According to the officials, the girl hails from a village in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh and was allegedly sold by her mother and maternal aunt to a man in Dholpur, who resold her to another man. She was brought here by her mother, maternal aunt and two cousin brothers on the pretext of marriage.
"They brought the girl to Taajpur and sold her to one Sampat Gurjar (46) for Rs 80,000 in the third week of April. Later, Sampat Gurjar allegedly sold the same girl for Rs 1 lakh to one Rajendra Gurjar (35)," said Rajendra Chauhan, in-charge, human trafficking cell, on Tuesday.
When asked how the human trafficking cell came to know about it, Chauhan said, "We got a tip-off that one Rajendra Gurjar along with two others had purchased a minor girl and were bringing her to Taajpur village. Initially, the three men were detained and questioned. When they did not give satisfactory reply on the whereabouts of the girl, they were arrested."
After the three were arrested, the girl was found and she narrated her plight to the officials. "The girl in her statement to the magistrate said that her mother, maternal aunt and two cousins told her that they were getting her married. In mid-April, she was handed over to Sampat who told her that he had bought her for Rs 80,000. The girl also said she was sold again to one Rajendra Gurjar for Rs 1 lakh," Chauhan said quoting official statements of the girl.
The girl also said she was not raped, Chauhan added.
Police said that Madhya Pradesh police has also been intimated about the incident and efforts were on to nab the girl's mother, maternal aunt, two cousins.
