The case has once again brought to fore rampant kidnappings or trafficking of girls from nearby states for sexual exploitation in Dholpur. Officials said that at least half a dozen girls have been rescued over the past 20 days from the human trafficking gangs operating in the area.

The three men, identified by the girl as Udaybhan Gujjar, Bahadur Singh Gujjar and Shabu, took her to Kanchanpura forests instead of Morena.

"The girl says that the three men kept her hostage for two months and repeatedly raped her. She fell sick following which they took her to a quack, identified as Mahaveer Singh. The girl alleged that he too kept her for over 8 days in his house and raped her," said the officer.

The medical examination of the girl confirmed rape. "The case has been handed over to the anti-human trafficking cell," said the officer.

SP, Dholpur, Harendra Mahawar told TOI that the police are trying to bust a gang involved in trafficking of at least 15 girls recently. "These girls were bought from poor families in UP and MP and then brought to Dholpur where they were sexually exploited," said the officer.

The in-charge of anti-human trafficking cell Sitaram Meena said that special teams have rescued six women from Maniya police station area alone since March 20.
