Investigation into the human trafficking racket in the state, involving the abduction and sale of minor girls, has revealed that one of them was sold off as a bride to 15 men in the age range of 30-45 over the past eight years. The gang allegedly sold the girls for between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 2.5 lakh each. The number of victims could be more than eight as was earlier reported. According to police, one of the girls aged 13, Nisha (name changed), was sold off as a bride to 15 men in Gujarat in eight years. Using Nisha, the alleged mastermind of the racket, Ashok Patel, and his aides in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, abducted nearly 15 other girls from places where she lived and sold them off. The cops are now searching for Nisha, who is "one of the first victims" of the gang, to record her statement against the accused. The racket was busted when investigators tracked down a teenager who had gone missing from Kanbha village of Ahmedabad district on May 11.
