Thane, April 10: The Vartak Nagar police arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly selling off his 14-year-old sister for Rs 60,000. Five others were also nabbed.

Deepak Gadekar allegedly fixed the "deal" to marry off his sister to a 32-year-old man for cash. The minor's "marriage" to Dinesh Mali was said to have been illegally solemnized at a temple in Gujarat. The police said Dinesh had been charged with rape for allegedly having sex with his minor "bride".

Senior inspector Shahaji Jadhav said Deepak and his wife Vanita convinced the girl to join them on a vacation in Gujarat and Rajasthan. They were accompanied by three friends-Raju Mohan Mali (25), his wife Asha (25) and Kamal Phasle (50). On March 17, the girl was asked to exchange garlands with Dinesh at a Shiva temple in a Gujarat town.

The matter came to light last week after the girl came home and told her parents about what had happened.

The family members confronted Deepak and his wife before lodging a police complaint against Deepak and seven others, including Dinesh and his parents. Of the total eight accused, six were arrested and remanded in police custody till April 18.

Dinesh's parents were yet to be arrested.
