Gorakhpur: A girl from Chiluatal, who lodged a complaint against her mother and her friend for selling her to a young man for Rs 4 lakhs on the pretext of marriage, went missing. The girl managed to flee from Haryana and reached Gorakhpur to save herself, she stated in the complaint. The Gorakhpur police transferred the case to Chiluatal police, who in turn started investigation.
Despite strict instructions from the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), the police are unable to trace her. The victim hasn't mentioned her contact number in the complaint making it all the more difficult to find her. The girl's parents, who live in Aasra Colony of the Moharipur ward, are not helping in the investigation, the police said.
As per the girl's complaint, a neighbour arranges marriages of girls from poor families in the Chiluatal area. Of the six sisters of the girl, two were already married as arranged by the neighbour. On the request of the victim's mother, she got married to the said man on November 23. Marriage cards were printed and a wedding procession was also organised in the Aasra Colony.
