JJ board orders probe against parents for selling minor in Chhattisgarh

RAIPUR: In the wake of rise in cases of girl trafficking in Chhattisgarh's tribal Jashpur district, for the first time, a juvenile justice board has asked police to lodge complaint against parents of a 16-year-old girl who had sold her to a placement agency in New Delhi four years back.

The minor girl belongs to Pathalgaon and has alleged before the juvenile justice board that her parents took her to Delhi on pretext of going for a trip and had sold her to a placement consultant four years back. In her statement she alleged that she was taken to a multi-storied apartment by the placement agent for domestic help.

"I was forced to work for more than 15 hours. Waking up at 6 am I used to do all chores for a family of five. They never allowed me to sleep before 10 pm, even when I wasn't in a good health. Later, the placement consultant shifted me to a lone woman's house. The woman used to beat me with sticks in case I failed to meet her expectations," the minor girl mentioned before the board.

The girl somehow managed to escape from the woman's clutches and was later rescued by the Delhi-based Child Welfare Committee (CWC). She remained under the care of CWC for one-and-a-half years. It is now that the CWC has presented her before the Juvenile Justice Board.

The board has asked cops to book the girl's parents under Section 317 of the IPC (abandonment of child under twelve years by parents). The board has also ordered investigation against the placement agent and those involved in assaulting the victim.

Jashpur has many such stories and cases where children, minors and youths are taken to different parts of country for several kinds of illegal work or to work as labourers in conditions akin to bonded labour system. The district is infamous for reporting trafficking incidents. Several incidents of youths being trafficked to states like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have been reported in the past.
