The four girls were lured by one Manna Sheikh who promised them jobs in Ukhra of Uttar Pradesh last year with the consent of their family but since then their whereabouts were not known, the police said.
Early this month, the father of one of the girls, Barkatuddin Laskar informed the Basanti police station and, went to Ukhra and with the help of the local Ukhra police rescued the four from a brothel. The girls claimed they were sold for Rs 1.20 lakh each by Sheikh.
