Hyderabad girl sold to Arab in Goa by kinfolk escapes

Hyderabad: A 15-year-old girl who was reportedly sold allegedly a week ago by her mother and brother-in-law to a Gulf national escaped from Goa and returned to Hyderabad.

Jaya Vindhyala, a rights activist, who is sheltering a girl who ran away from her Arab national husband, said the minor was sexually exploited by about 15 people. She is now mentally unstable, alleged the activist. According to Vindhyala, there was already a case against her brother-in-law who had earlier sold his daughter from his first wife to the Arab.

The man, identified as Akbar, had been planning to marry the minor to a Gulf national for a year. According to the victim, she was dropped at the airport by her brother-in-law and mother from where the man took her to Goa.

It is learnt from Vindhyala that when the girl refused the mother and brother-in-law, they beat her up. Her condition was not stable, added the activist while stating that they were taking her to the police station.
