Four people, including a woman, were arrested for their alleged involvement in trafficking of a 16-year-old girl, the police told PTI on Saturday, 28 July.

The accused have been identified as Ravi (32), Rinki (20), Rohit (22) and Mukesh (25), they added.

A case of kidnapping of a 16-year-old was registered in outer Delhi's Sultanpuri police station by her family, Seju P Kuruvilla, Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer Delhi) said.

During investigation, it was learnt that the girl was with a man named Abhishek (18). On 21 July, the girl contacted her mother and informed her that she was in Rohini. Her mother visited the place and brought her to the police station. She was medically examined and her statement was recorded.

In her statement to the police, the girl alleged that she was lured by Abhishek, who took her Haridwar, where he sexually exploited her. After four days, they returned to Delhi and stayed at Old Delhi railway station platform where they met Ravi, who assured them a job and shelter and took them to his house in Ghaziabad.

The next day, Abhishek went out with Ravi and the girl was told that he would return soon. That night, Ravi's wife Rinky left the house, leaving the girl alone with him. Ravi then sexually exploited the girl. When Rinky returned the next morning, the girl narrated the ordeal, but it fell on deaf ears.

Rinky gave the girl food, following which she fell unconscious. Two people, identified as Intezar and Heena, took her from Ravi’s house to Rohini, where they handed over her to a man named Ashok Goyal. With the help of his associates Rohit and Mukesh, Goyal confined her at his spa and massage centre in Rohini, sexually exploited her, and forced her into having sex with his clients, the DCP said.

On the basis of the girl’s statement, a police team was formed, following which Abhishek was apprehended.

During investigation, Abhishek admitted that he took the victim to Haridwar and that he had had intercourse with her. Ravi and Rinky were arrested from their residence in Ghaziabad. The couple admitted that they had "sold" the victim with the help of Intezar, his wife Heena and relative Vicky, the officer said.

Subsequently, a police team reached Goyal's spa and massage centre, where the victim was confined and allegedly raped and arrested his two associates Rohit and Mukesh, he added.

The police has been trying to trace the other accused, Goyal, Vicky, Intezar and his wife Heena, who are still absconding, he said.
