A girl from Chhattisga­rh’s tribal dominated Jashpur district was sold 7 times before she committed suicide, state BJP State Women Cell (SWC) said on Wednesday. President of BJP SWC Shalini Rajput alleged gross injustice happened to the girl as she was sold 7 times. She was first trafficked to Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh then UP and she eventually committed suicide. Rajput alleged the state government has become insensitiv­e towards human traffickin­g and crime against women. Six months back the victim girl’s father had complained to police but no action was taken, she said, questionin­g if the government was sleeping over it. Meanwhile, speaking to FPJ, Balaji Rao, SP in Jashpur refuted the allegation­s of the girl being trafficked 7 times.
