A minor girl rescued by the Ajmer police last month, after allegedly being kept captive for more than seven months and forced into marriage, has approached police accusing her neighbours of harassing her and her family to force them to leave their rented house.
She said five of them forcibly entered their house Wednesday and beat up her and her mother.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Laxman Ram said police have taken cognizance of the issue and action will be taken against the accused.
The girl, one of seven siblings, with her father a daily wager, told The Indian Express: “People keep taunting my mother that she sold me to make money.”
One of the relatives said the girl had already undergone “much trauma”. “The man in his 40s who forcibly married her even hammered a nail into her hand and burnt her at multiple places.”
After she was recovered, the girl was produced before the Child Welfare Committee, and subjected to medical and forensic check-up. Doctors estimate her age to be 15-17 years.
While the family claims the girl was abducted last year, they filed a complaint on June 13, accusing three women, Roshni, Afsana alias Bijli and Afreen alias Noorjahan, of taking her. Soon after, the girl was tracked using technical surveillance.

Police say as the family is poor, they were afraid of approaching police, which is why the FIR was filed so late.
As per police, the girl was sold for Rs 32,000 to Sanjay Kumar Gurjar, a resident of Churu, who married her. They claim to have recovered evidence from the phone of Nadeem Qureshi, who is accused of organising the wedding.
Deputy SP Ram said since the girl said that she sexually assaulted by two other men before she was married off, police have added charges of gang rape. Apart from the three women, the accused include Gurjar, Mohammad Jishant Rangrez alias Dishu, Zarina, and Qureshi.
Ram said: “Roshni took the victim with her to Pushkar for sightseeing in October 2025. There the girl was drugged and taken to a hotel and raped by two men… After this, the victim was kept by Noor Jahan and Bijli, who are both involved in petty crimes and drug dealing in the area. Later on, she was sold and married off to Gurjar.”

As per Assistant Sub-Inspector of Ajmer police Roshan Lal, Gurjar had earlier too tried to procure a bride from the accused women.
On July 27, police demolished the homes of Noor Jahan and Bijli, saying these were built on forest land without permission.
The relative said before they approached police, they had been asking Roshni about the girl. “We finally went to her house and threatened her. Then she gave us the phone number of Gurjar,” the relative said, adding that they contacted police following this, and the girl was rescued.
An analysis of call records of the accused showed a coordinated conspiracy, police said.
