NEW DELHI: She was forced into prostitution by her greedy parents who made good money by selling her to various pimps. However, the 15-year-old girl managed to escape from the trafficker's clutches and hid at a shelter in western UP. When she couldn't be found, her parents sought the help of police to trace her. Little did they know that the move would land them in the police net. The teenager has been rescued from Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh.
The girl's father, who supplies vegetables at the wholesale market in Ghazipur, was under debt after suffering a loss in business. He had recently brought the girl to the capital from his native village, on the promise of providing her with better educational facilities. She had barely adjusted to life in the big city when her parents made her meet a pimp, Ravinder Singh, involved in several cases of trafficking across three states.
Realizing that her parents were forcing her into the flesh trade, the girl made three attempts to run away from her north Rohini residence. Each time, she was caught and beaten up by her father. "The victim told us that even her mother beat her up. She attended to clients every night and the money was shared by the pimp and her parents. As money started flowing in, her parents' greed increased. They ordered her to stay at a brothel run by Ravinder," said DCP (outer) B S Jaiswal.
Ravinder took the girl to Moradabad and handed her over to another pimp, Shanno, who then sold her to a person named Sachin Rastogi, who belongs to Sambhal. Last month, the minor finally found an opportunity to run away.
When she couldn't be traced, her mother lodged a missing person's complaint at the North Rohini police station on September 29. Assuming it to be a case of kidnapping, cops launched a search operation. "The parents thought that after finding the girl we will send her back to them and they will again push her into prostitution," said Jaiswal. The victim will be produced before a Child Welfare Committee. Her parents, Ravinder, Shanno and Sachin have been arrested.
