"Girls were gang-raped and converted and were being sent to Dubai... This is tantamount to illegal sex trade and human trafficking," VHP International Working President Pravin Togadia said in a statement here.
He demanded that cases be registered against "all the accused, including the travel agents, the airlines which gave tickets on fake names, officials who issued passports without verifying documents based on interviews and also airport authorities who may have looked the other way".
In a complaint, the woman's father alleged that his daughter was abducted on July 23 and taken to a madrassa in Kharkhauda, where she was raped by the accused. They also forcefully made her sign some papers related to religious conversion, he had alleged. The incident has sparked tension in the area.
