Around 11 minor girls from Madhya Pradesh’s Dindori district were rescued from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu where they were being taken by two men on the pretext of giving them good jobs.
The Madhya Pradesh Police on special inputs arrested the two men for allegedly luring the girls on the pretext of jobs in a thread factory. The accused said that they would get a commission of Rs. 500 on each girl.
Addressing a press briefing, Simala Prasad, Dindori SP said that the girls were taken without informing the nearest police station.
“The minor girl had gone from Shahpura to Jabalpur, and because there was a delay in the information we received, we could not rescue the girls. Then we went to the village and inquired and came to know that that the girls went to Tamil Nadu”, she said.
“A couple of things aroused our suspicion. For starters they had made fake Aadhar cards and many girls had the same date of birth. Also if their ultimate destination was working in a thread factory, why were only girls taken?” she added.
