Rajasthan men paid 59 thousands for marrying Jharkhand minor. Arrested
Three Rajasthan men were arrested by GRP Kodarma for trafficking a minor girl from Ichak Police station of Hazaribagh. The accused had planned to take a train from Kodarma Railway station where the GRP was already alerted.
The accused confessed that they had paid Rs. 59,000/- to the step-mother of the minor for marrying her off to a 34 year old man.
After the confession from the arrested men, Police also detained the step-mother. She went on to confess that the minor girl was already married and this was her second marriage. The step-mother also confessed that she had received money from these youths but she insisted that the money was taken as a loan from them since they had become relatives after marriage.
Police is investigating the case.
