Though the girl had provided her real identity and age in her statement, no FIR has been registered. Now, the Rajasthan State Commission of Protection of Child Rights (RSCPCR) has directed the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) to file an FIR against the accused under appropriate sections of Juvenile Justice Act, POCSO Act and anti-child trafficking sections. The RSCPCR has given a week’s time to act on it.
After police and CWC failed to find her real identity, RSCPCR member Shailendra Pandya sought the help of the National Commission of Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The NCPCR then wrote to Unakota police of Tripura on June 2, a copy of which is in the possession of TOI, asking it to find that if the girl had provided her correct identity. In reply, Unakota police on June 9 wrote to NCPCR clarifying that the girl had provided her correct identity. The Unakota police met her family and they informed police that she had been missing.

“In her statement, ly girl told that she had been sold by one Raju. The man who had been keeping her at her home old had bought her for Rs 1.5 lakh and he claimed that he had married her. I came to know about the matter of purchasing of a girl for Rs 1.5 lakh on June 1 and the girl is pregnant now. The issue is serious, so I informed the NCPCR,” said Pandya.
The incident came to light when she fled from the person’s house, who had allegedly purchased her, on May 2 and the later filed a missing complaint in Mandawa police station mentioning that his wife had been missing.
Mandawa police found her on May 4 but she refused to go with the person and demanded protection. Following that, Jhunjhunu SDM issued an order to provide her shelter at Swadhara Women Home (SWH), Jhunjhunu. The teen told SWH officials that she had been trafficked and her real name is Seema (name changed) and she originally belongs to Uttar Ratacherra in Unnakoti district of Tripura. She also told that she is below 18 years. Based on the counselling report of Swadhara Women Home, the SDM directed the police station incharge of Mandawa to reinvestigate the matter on May 9.
Based on the victim’s statement, Mandawa police presented her before CWC Jhunjhunu. But, CWC rejected her plea and had a doubt about victim’s real name, age and identity. The medical examination for age determination was suggested to CWC but it was found out that the medical cannot be done because the victim is two and a half months pregnant, RSCPCR officials said.
