Bhiwani: Haryana police on Friday rescued a minor girl, a native of Odisha, in a critical condition after she reportedly jumped off a two-storey building to escape her tormentor.
According to police sources, the girl’s uncle had brought her to Haryana on the pretext of visiting a relative and later sold her to one Sandeep and his mother Sankuntala of Dhani village for Rs 2 lakh, two months ago.
The 15-year-old girl suffered critical injuries while attempting to flee and is now undergoing treatment at Hisar hospital.
