Hayathnagar: In a shocking incident, a woman sold her 16-year-old daughter and pushed her into prostitution in the Hayathnagar area of Telangana's Khammam district.

The woman who bought her took her home in Warangal Crossroads of Khammam city. The girl said she was tortured by the woman and her husband who forcefully sent her to different villages for prostitution. The victim said she had to bear the harrowing experience for nearly seven months. On November 10, the couple also snatched away her golden earrings, silver bracelets, and cash, and beat her severely.
