Indore Human Trafficking Racket Busted: Minor Girl Rescued, Four Arrested

Indore police have dismantled an organised human trafficking racket that arranged fake marriages of minor girls using forged documents. Four people, including alleged mastermind Sanjay alias Sanju Yadav, have been arrested. A 15-year-old girl allegedly being sold for ₹3 lakh was rescued after her mother filed a missing person complaint.

The gang targeted economically weaker families, promising girls money and better lives. Accused forged the victim's identity documents to show her as an adult, then posed as relatives to arrange the marriage. The girl was taken to the groom's house in Ratlam district but brought back to Indore after police tracked the accused using technical evidence.

The four arrested include the two alleged masterminders and groom Sanju Patidar and his father Nandram Patidar. Police are searching for five other suspects. The investigation continues.
