The police said that the girl was brought from Jharkhand by her uncle and handed over to the businessman who had twin children. Basically, she was taken in to take care of the children. She was rescued by the NGO Shakti Vahini, who raided the businessman's home along with police after getting a call for help on their helpline.

When they visited the house first, they could not find the girl, but on second attempt after a similar call, police searched the house thoroughly and found the girl unconscious in a closet. Activists said that her legs were swollen and there were marks of torure on her body. There was a deep gash on her back and marks near her eyes.
