A 17-year-old girl, allegedly being forced into prostitution by her mother, was rescued in Bharatpur on Saturday. The state’s anti-human trafficking unit (AHTU), along with the district child welfare committee (CWC) members, rescued the 17-year-old girl from a rented room in Pushp Vatika Colony of the city. Sharma had overheard two women’s discussion at his shop and inferred the minor girl was kept in a house for prostitution. After getting the information, the CWC members, along with the AHTU team, raided the house and rescued the girl. She said her mother was involved in prostitution and her customers were forcing her to have physical relations with them.
