CBI Rescues Trafficked Bengal Girl From Rajasthan
A young girl went missing from her home and was later found to have been sold for marriage twice.
The CBI, a special police force, found her in a different state.
They arrested five people they believe were involved in selling her.
The investigation started with the local police, but then the High Court decided the CBI should take over.
The CBI used phone records to find the girl and bring her back.
The case suggests this could be part of a larger problem of people being trafficked.
A minor girl from West Bengal was rescued from Rajasthan after being sold twice for marriage.
The girl went missing in August 2023 after leaving for tuition.
The CBI arrested five individuals in connection with the case.
The CBI investigated the case after it was transferred from local police and CID West Bengal.
