The raid was conducted at around 2 am by a special team and over 100 boys and girls were found present there, he said. Regarding the seven suspended policemen of Kamla Market Police station, the officer said they failed to stop the saleof minor girls at brothels here.
“Following the case of a 14-year-old girl being sold on a brothel, these policemen were suspended,” the official said. He also said four persons—including a brothel mistress, victim's buyer Suman, another woman Premawati and her husband, a DTC bus helper—have also been arrested in connection with the case.
The girl, who belongs to the family of a political party in West Bengal, was kidnapped two months ago allegedly by the son of his family's rival party.
She was then sold to Suman who with the help of Premawati forced her into prostitution, the officer said, adding she was rescued on November 20 from a secluded place in Shastri Park area here.
