Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A 15-year-old girl who was missing for 15 days in Indore's Banganga was recovered from Badnagar in Ujjain district. She was sold for ₹3 lakh with the help of her friend and a woman.

According to the report, the girl's family had filed a missing person report at the Banganga police station about 15 days ago.

Following the investigation, the accused were identified as the victim's friends, Rakesh Yadav and a woman, Sonu Banjara.

The girl had been sent to Sanjay Patidar in Badnagar, where the two were subsequently married.

Following this information, the police traveled to Badnagar and recovered the girl.

The police brought the girl to the station on Sunday night for questioning.

She revealed that she had received a portion of the money from the deal. It is alleged that she had also been instructed to return to Indore about a week after the wedding, fleeing Sanjay Patidar's home with cash and gold and silver jewellery.
