Minor girl forced into prostitution by mother, raped by brother - reveals chilling details

Following the minor's complaint, 5 persons, including her mother, brother, and husband have been arrested on Sunday, reports NDTV.

Police official said that the girl alleged that she was forcibly married to a man by her mother in April 2018 who used to beat her up demanding sex.

Unable to cope up, she returned to her mother's home in east Mumbai. "After few months, her mother took her to a pimp who forced her into prostitution," the official said quoting the complaint.

There, reportedly, the pimp's husband sexually assaulted her and the girl was forced to have physical relationship with a 60-year-old man for money.

The girl also claimed that when she asked for help from her brother, he raped her and threatened to kill her with a sword. The 60-year-old man is yet to be nabbed.

A case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for rape and unnatural offences, Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA) and Child Marriage Prevention Act.
