13-year-old girl.
On 3rd January 2006 CHILDLINE Ahemadabad received a call from an informant providing details of a 13-year-old girl in need of help. When the team visited the place the girl was initially reluctant to speak. After  repeated assurances the girl revealed the fact that her father, a tantrik, had been sexually exploiting her for the past three years in the name of Tantrik Vidya. This was happening with the consent of her mother.
CHILDLINE team offered her shelter at the shelter home and a complaint was lodged with the police. The Sub Inspector at first refused to lodge a complaint and was not willing to call a woman constable for questioning as per the procedures. The team approached the Police Joint Commissioner. The girl was produced before the CWC and has been provided shelter. The parents have been arrested.
