New Delhi, November 01: A woman owner of a Delhi-based placement agency, which provides domestic helps, was acquitted of charges of procuring and pushing a girl into flesh trade by a court here which termed her statements as “unreliable”.
“In view of serious contradictions in the testimony of the prosecutrix and statement failing to inspire confidence, it is difficult to accept and believe it to base conviction of the accused,” Additional Sessions Judge J R Aryan said.
The court absolved Baby Singh alias Priya, a resident of Sangam Vihar here, of charges of under sections 366A (procuration of minor girl) and 372 (letting to hire a minor for prostitution) of the IPC.
The girl first said she was brought by the accused from her native place in West Bengal and was forced to have sex with 40 persons.
