The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance of an alleged trafficking and sale of minor girls from border districts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to Maharashtra, according to a media report. This comes following the report published on October 30, 2026, which claims that parents are selling their minor girl children, typically due to poverty, for a price ranging from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh to middlemen.
These girls are subsequently trafficked by the middlemen using false documents, where they are presented as adopted children.
Upon reaching adulthood, these girls are reportedly sold for Rs 35 lakh to Rs 40 lakh in various cities in Maharashtra. This transaction often involves a change in their personal details to conceal their true identities. The NHRC has expressed concern over the potential violation of the human rights of these girl children. Consequently, the Commission has issued notices to the Chief Secretaries and Directors General of Police from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, requesting a detailed report on the matter within two weeks.
