Jabalpur police in Madhya Pradesh have exposed a human trafficking racket. The police made this disclosure while searching for a minor girl who had run away from home to meet her lover. The accused had sold this girl to a person living in Tikam Garh for 95 thousand rupees. Police investigation has revealed that this gang has kidnapped and sold many girls earlier as well. The police have arrested half a dozen people in this case so far. The police are conducting raids in search of the remaining accused.
According to the police, the minor girl had run away from home once before with her boyfriend Rahul. However, at that time, on the complaint of the girl's father, the police arrested the girl's boyfriend and sent him to jail. After being released from jail two weeks later, Rahul stopped talking to the girl. So, about a month ago on September 12, the girl again ran away from home to meet him. After reaching Bhedaghat, she called Rahul's friend Raja, but Raja said that Rahul was scared and his phone was switched off.
When the girl said that she could not return to her home, the accused Raja gave her shelter and handed her over to Shashi and Puran of this human trafficking gang. The victim said that on September 21, she saw a middle-aged man in the presence of Shashi and Puran, who had come to see her. The same night she heard Shashi talking to her husband Puran, Suraj, and Raja. In this, Shashi was saying that a man from Tikamgarh is ready to buy the girl. On hearing this, the girl started planning to run away but was not successful. Finally, the next day i.e. on September 22, in the village temple, Suraj and Raja along with Shashi and Puran forcibly married her to Prakash, a resident of Tikamgarh.
According to the police, Prakash had bought this girl for 95 thousand rupees. The girl told the police that the accused had kidnapped and sold more than 15 girls so far. According to the victim, the accused Prakash raped her 35 times under the influence of alcohol. During this, after raping her once, when the accused fell asleep, she called her father from his phone and told him the entire incident. After this, the girl's father freed her with the help of the police. In this case, the police have so far arrested Shashi, Puran, Raja, and Suraj along with Prakash.
