WEST BENGAL GIRL RESCUED FROM PALWAL
FARIDABAD: The West Bengal police rescued a minor girl from a village in Palwal district, about 38 kilometers from here on Monday in a joint operation with Haryana police.
The joint team raided a house in Bamnikhera village and rescued the girl.
Sources said the minor was kidnapped two months ago from Howrah in West Bengal. The kidnappers reportedly handed over the girl to a woman in Palwal.
The woman allegedly sold the girl to a man named Bhagat Singh in Bamnikhera for `70,000. “We provided assistance to the West Bengal police team and they rescued the girl from a house in Bamnikhera village”, Superintendent of Police, Palwal Rahul Sharma said.
The police team left for Howrah with the girl after getting her medically examined. The case of kidnapping was registered in Howrah. It is alleged Bhagat Singh had married the girl as he had lost his wife about a year ago in a train accident.
“We are investigating at our own level about role of some woman and also we are trying to find out this Bhagat Singh,” said SP Rahul Sharma.
“Howrah police have arrested some accused in West Bengal and it was on their revelation that the police came to know about presence of the girl in Bamnikhera,” Sharma added.
