What began as a routine missing persons complaint in north Gujarat’s Palanpur soon unraveled into a disturbing case of alleged human trafficking, sexual assault, and betrayal within a marriage, reports Times of India.
A 26-year-old woman was allegedly sold by her husband for ₹50,000 and repeatedly raped over several days before being rescued by police. The case led to the arrest of six people, including her husband, to whom she had been married for 12 years. According to investigators, the husband allegedly wanted to “get rid of her” because he no longer liked her and had plans to bring another woman into his home.
