Daughter of accused helps rescue minor girl

The daughter of a woman who had forced a 17-year-old into sex trade helped save the girl by getting in touch with an NGO and prompting it to carry out a rescue operation.

The girl who was forcibly married by the accused after being forced into prostitution is now one month pregnant. Three people were arrested after the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) intervened in the case after the victim was rescued.

The teenager, a resident of Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh, came to Delhi a few days back in search of a job. While the girl’s parents have died, her brother suffers from epilepsy.

She came to the capital so that she could earn a living for her brother’s treatment.
When the girl reached New Delhi Railway station, she met two people. The duo promised her a job and took her along.

However, the girl found herself in the middle of a sex trade racket soon after this. She was kept in Maujpur area where the accused forced her into the trade. A few days later, they forcibly married her off to a 40-year-old man in Chandni Chowk area.

The accused woman’s daughter, who is also a minor, was aware of the sequence of events.

She was aware that her mother pushed young girls into sex trade racket and wanted to help out the victim.

The accused had been arrested earlier in connection with cases of running sex trade rackets as well.

The girl reached the house in Chandni Chowk where the victim was living after being married off.

After a rescue operation, the girl along with an NGO representative approached the DCW.

The commission after listening to the victim sent a team with the girl to get an FIR registered at the concerned police station. An FIR was filed at the Zafarabad police station. Following this, the three, including the woman, were arrested.
