Four members of a gang running a prostitution racket using messaging apps have been arrested and a minor girl has been rescued from their possession in north Delhi, police said on Thursday. "The accused have been identified as Sanjay Rajput (35), Kanika Roy (28), both residents of Delhi, and Anshu Sharma (21) and Sapna Goyal (24), both residents of Uttar Pradesh," they said.

Case
Police registered a case on January 22

"On January 22, the police registered a case in which the complainant alleged that her minor daughter had been kidnapped," the officials said. "The police received information that the girl was kidnapped by a gang of human traffickers and had been sold for prostitution," a senior police officer further said.

"The victim told the police that she was kidnapped by two men when she had gone to a nearby shop to purchase potato chips," Goel said. "Two persons had approached her and invited her to have birthday cake at their home, following which the girl accompanied them, ate the cake, and fainted," the DCP further said.
