BHUBANESWAR: Police on Saturday arrested a 21-year-old youth and his female friend for allegedly trying to force a minor girl into prostitution. Though the girl rejected their demands outright, the accused, in a bid to convince her, took her to Puri on Friday. However, she was firm on not engaging in the flesh trade. On returning to Bhubaneswar, the duo confined the girl inside the salon. A case was registered and the duo arrested.
