Cops arrest mother who forced minor into prostitution
Mumbai: A woman in Mumbai, who forced her daughter into prostitution at the age of 13, has been remanded in judicial custody along with her boyfriend.

They have been charged under sections 232, 354, 34 of the IPC for abetting rape, confirmed Senior Inspector Mohan Sankhe of the Kurar police station.

Cops said the duo has been incarcerated in the Thane jail, after a brief appearance before a metropolitan magistrate in Borivli.

Khajabi Banu locked her 15-year-old daughter in a room with a stranger so she could make quick money to splurge on liquor and entertainment with her boyfriend. The young girl, who is now with her aunt, Samina Khan, in Malvani, narrated her shocking story to MiD DAY. (Read: 'My mother looked on as uncle raped me')

Her mother, an alcoholic who conspired with Rathod to oust her husband from the house, not only forced her to have sex with Rathod, but also some strangers since the time she was 13.
The girl finally told her aunt the whole story last Sunday when Rathod approached her, as he regularly did, with the intention of having sex with her.

She told MiD DAY, "My mother forced me to work in a rubber company since I was 13 years old. When I would return home, she'd remove my clothes and Raju uncle would force me to have sex with him in front of my mother.  I used to shout and run away, but my mother never cared. She told me that she wanted money from me. She physically assaulted me if I refused. This went on for two years."

She added, "Raju uncle used to molest me all the time and sleep near me. My mother would lock me in a room with Raju uncle and started getting other people to have sex with me. There have been times when I have run away naked from my house."
