New Delhi: A 15-year-old girl who was allegedly sold by her mother to a trafficker last week has been rescued from Bawana here, the Delhi Commission for Women said on Sunday. The rescued girl said her mother had also sold her one-year-old brother last month to a trafficker, according to the panel.

The girl's mother on September 15 asked her to accompany her to sister's place in Badarpur, but instead took her to a hotel in Nizamuddin, the panel said. After striking a deal at the hotel, the mother told her that she has to go somewhere and a man named Shahid would take her home, they said. Shahid, instead, took her to his house at Ishwar Colony in Bawana village, the panel claimed.
