The accused, Rajesh, ran the placement agency and had disappeared after raping the girl four months back. Since then, his associate Raj Kumar ran the agency. The girl was hired by another placement agency in between that was run by one Pancham, police sources said.
Police are now trying to track down Rajesh, Raj Kumar and Pancham, police said. The trio is on the run and teams have been formed to nab them.
Rajesh's wife had got the girl to the city in October last year after promising her a good life. The girl was kept in a small room along with other girls, trafficked from various other places, police sources said.
Finding her alone in a room, Rajesh raped her one night and disappeared. Months later, the girl complained of severe stomachache on Friday. Raj Kumar suspected it to be a case of pregnancy and gave her some 'pills'.
The girl began to bleed profusely after consuming them. Raj Kumar then took her to a south Delhi clinic but panicked on knowing about her miscarriage and fled on text of arranging money, sources said. The girl has alleged that she was not paid for her work and her salary was taken away by her 'owners'. An FIR has been registered at the Sarita Vihar police station, police said.
