A Delhi court on Saturday sentenced two siblings to seven years in jail for selling minor girls for prostitution, saying \u201chuman trafficking of girl child is the most abominable of crimes\u201d.<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge Gurdeep Singh handed down the jail term to Veena and her brother Ashok for running a racket of kidnapping minor girls, raising them and pushing them into prostitution after a particular age.<\/p>\n
Veena and Ashok were arrested in 2010 after the father of a minor girl lodged a missing report. He cast suspicion on his neighbours Bimla and Mukesh who were arrested but later discharged by the court.

Both Veena and Ashok are also facing a separate case of kidnapping minor girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
