Then a demand was being made from the child’s family to pay Rs 2 lakh in lieu of the earlier case.
There were preparations by the accused to take the child to Maharashtra for child labour. But after receiving the information, ASP immediately took cognizance of the matter. After that, the child was rescued from Jaynagar by Bela police station with the help of Bachpan Bachao Andolan team and sent to a children’s home on the orders of Child Welfare Committee Sitamarhi.
