A joint team of Cuttack Childline officials, members of a local voluntary organisation and Bidanasi Police rescued the victim minor girl duo identified as T Jayashree and T Karishma after conducting a raid on the house of the accused, following a tip off from some locals.
“We received a tip-off at around 3 PM that two minor girls have been held captive in their home by their elder sister. We immediately took the matter to the notice of the police and conducted a check. During our visit the minor duo were found terribly sick–one of them was found with bedsores and the other was found with mental illness. We rescued them and sent them to SCB Medical for treatment,” said Narayan Shukla, Coordinator, Cuttack Childline.
