On September 4 last year, the girl was rescued by the childline run by Shakti Vahini and police and a case was registered against the placement agency as well as her employers.

When the girl was sent to a shelter home in Gurgaon, a man had appeared in court and sought custody of her by submitting some documents. “The CWC, unsatisfied with the documents, directed the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit in Gurgaon to look into the matter and verify the documents submitted by the person with the help of police. Moreover, the committee also wrote to the Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon, to speed up the investigation in the case as well as take legal action against the placement agency, where the girl worked for 18 months, and also help the child in recovering her wages,” Shakuntala Dhull, chairperson, CWC (Gurgaon), said.
