Jaipur: A man was
booked in Rajasthan's Kota town Friday for selling his 13-year-old
daughter for Rs.1 lakh and trying to force her to marry the buyer,
police said.
The man's estranged wife and daughter recently approached the
senior police officers in Kota, following which a police case was
registered against the man, officials said.
According to police, Devi Lal is a resident of Dhulet area in
Kota, some 300 km from Jaipur.
"His estranged wife Shyama Devi and their daughter Krishna came to
lodge the complaint with the district superintendent of police,
Vikas Pathak. In a statement to the officer, the girl alleged that
her father sold her for Rs.1 lakh to someone and was now forcing
her to stay with her buyer. Devi Lal had even taken the money from
the buyer," a police officer told IANS.
The officer said that Devi Lal separated from his wife a couple of
years ago.
"The woman then married a man living in nearby Bundi district. The
woman said that Devi Lal visited her house and tried to take the
girl forcibly with him," said the officer.
He added that police have lodged a first information report (FIR)
on the basis of the complaint of the woman and her daughter and
launched a search for Devi Lal.
