"Mangala and Satish used to visit our house regularly and developed a close relationship with us," said Dinesh, adding, "None of us could smell the trap ahead. They assured Kavita of a job in Nagpur and we agreed to send her."

Meanwhile, they met Satish and Mangala who gave them two phone numbers of Yograj. They contacted Yograj and found that he hailed from Rajasthan. To their great dismay, Yograj told them that he bought the girl after paying.'90,000. Dinesh then told Butibori Police about Yograj and gave them his phone numbers.

PI of Butibori police station Kailash Tankar said, "Kohale had just lodged a missing report with us. We were investigating the case from 'missing person' angle.

"The Indo Rama authorities said that Kavita had indeed worked with them for two months — in May and June — but after that she stopped coming to the office," Kurase said, adding, "Kavita used to reside at Tembri in MIDC area of Butibori but his landlord refused to divulge any more detail."
