Hyderabad: A six-year-old girl was allegedly brutally tortured and after being
sold to a couple in Tadepallegudem in West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh.
The girl was found with her hands burnt, her right thigh bone fractured and
injuries to her head. She was moved to a private hospital this evening and is
reportedly critical.
The girl was allegedly tortured for over two months by a woman named Kothu
Lakshmi, who 'adopted' her from her biological mother in exchange of Rs. 10,
000. The mother of the girl says she thought the youngest of her three
daughters was getting a chance to live a better life and the Rs. 10, 000 being
offered in exchange for the child would help her siblings, and hence she
agreed.
Days after the couple took her away, the child said she wanted to go home
to her mother and her frail body and small hands were incapable of doing
household work; the couple began torturing her in retaliation.
