New Delhi, Oct 17 A minor girl, who was sold for Rs 60,000, was rescued by Delhi Police from Sikar in Rajasthan.

The 15-year-old girl, resident of Haidar Pur, Delhi, was reported missing since September 16 and a complaint was registered in this regard, police said on Sunday.

As the cops began probe, it was found that the minor girl was in regular contact with a local boy named Neeraj Sonkar.

Further probe revealed that Neeraj and one Muskan, resident of Rohini had taken the victim to the house of their third associate, Sheetal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
