In what is absolutely shocking news, a 10-year-old girl was sold by her stepmother and elderly father multiple times to many men in the past four years – she was raped by all of them.

TOI reports that the girl, who was staying with her 60-year-old father and 25-year-old stepmother, was found wandering aimlessly near the railway station in Jaipur in December last year and was sent to the child welfare committee in Ghaziabad.

The CWC wrote to the police regarding an FIR against the girl’s parents on Tuesday.

The girl, who is being constantly monitored and counselled by the CWC, was subjected to multiple burn injuries on her thighs and legs by her father who used a hot iron rod to carry out the heinous act.

“The girl has suffered a number of atrocities at the hands of her parents and is in a state of shock. The girl’s sufferings increased manifold after her father, a butcher, got married for the second time four years ago. She was beaten at home if she made any mistake in doing household work like cooking and cleaning. Many times, boiling tea was thrown on her,” said Shalini Singh, a CWC member to TOI.

“The girl’s stepmother sold her to a man, who in turn gave her to some other person after keeping her for a while. In this manner, she was moved from one place to another. The girl told us that she had been to Kolkata, Chandigarh, Jodhpur and Delhi among other places. At few instances, she escaped and came back home, but was again sold by the woman,” said Singh.

That’s not all – she also revealed that her father had kidnapped many children from railways stations and sold them off in far-flung areas.

“Her counselling has been going on. She told us that her mother would force her into stealing things from railway stations. We also found a three-year-old boy living with the girl’s parents, who is most probably not their child. We are also looking into it. The girl has categorically refused to go back to her parents. On Tuesday, we have written to the police to file an FIR against the girl’s parents,” Singh added.

The paper further reports that Circle officer, Loni, Durgesh Singh has stated that a proper investigation will be conducted.
