A woman, identified as Pratima, was also arrested for allegedly running a human trafficking racket. Pratima took Falak from one Laxmi and handed her over to Rajkumar who in turn gave her to the teenaged girl whom he allegedly abused sexually.
Laxmi, who is also underarrest, had befriended Munni, Falak’s biological mother, and persuaded her to leave her abusive husband and re-marry. She had arranged for a second husband for the 22-year-old Munni and also kept her three children, including Falak with herself and subsequently gave them away.
