According to police sources, the parents of two minor girls had died many years ago. Both the girls had become orphans. A family had adopted both girls. After 6 years, the truth surfaced that the girls were kept hostage. Not only this, the person who was given the status of father, continued to physically abuse him.

A stranger complained to Childline over the phone.

Archana Singh said that the accused has three children. His wife was fully aware of his misdeeds. Archana Singh, manager of the One Stop Center, said that when we talked to the girl, she said that these people took them to their place after the death of their parents.

After drinking alcohol, the accused used to torture the girls. One day he took her to the forest and did dirty acts with her. The manager said that one of the girls hugged them and started pleading with folded hands that she did not want to stay with the accused family and would rather die than live with them. On this entire matter, Brijesh Chand Tiwari, in charge of BKT police station, said that 181 One Stop Center had informed about the crime committed against the girls, after which a case of POCSO has been registered against the accused.
