Abducted, Trafficked, Raped, Abused, and Sold: A Horror Tale of a Teenage Girl

Nazneen (name changed), a 17-year-old girl, was rescued from Pigaud village in Palwal district by local police and Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) activists. She was trafficked by a gang of traffickers from Assam to Haryana and sold as a bride. The traffickers deceived her into believing that going to Delhi would provide a better life and a way out of poverty for her family.

After leaving Assam, the traffickers raped Nazneen, and the horror continued when she was sold to different men on multiple occasions. Eventually, she was sold to Barkat for 15,000 rupees. Barkat raped and abused her and later married her to his younger brother Irkam, without her consent.

The BBA has received 107 similar complaints of missing girls from one district in Assam alone. Mr. Kailash Satyarthi, founder of BBA, stated that “young girls who are most vulnerable are deceived and lured into this nexus of trafficking and their lives are ruined.”
