    Rajahmundry (Andhra Pradesh): Young girls are being sold for as little as Rs 12,000 in Rajahmundry and turned into sex slaves. And the people selling and forcing them into flesh trade are their parents.

    A CNN-IBN Special Investigation uncovered the racket by meeting brokers, promising money and fixing deals for ‘delivery’ of girls. After many delays and cancelled appointments, the CNN-IBN team met D Nirmala, who wanted to sell her daughter like cattle.

    “If you want there are two more girls. They are my daughter's friends I’ll speak to them and get them in a day or two. They are good looking too but they are right now out of town,” Nirmala said.

    Chinna Rao wanted to sell his two daughters and claimed to be an expert in the ‘family business’. “I have two daughters, I have sent my elder one to Pune, and I have a niece whom I have been taking care off since her childhood. She is a little taller than my daughter,” said Rao, who is accompanied by two brokers to help fix the deal.

    “You can take along the girls for 10 days if it is to Hyderabad. But if it is to Pune, Mumbai or Goa it can be longer, provided you give us the right price,” said Rao.

    After haggling, broker Erra Apparao finalised the deal. “You said Rs 12,000 and Rs 10,000. Chinna Rao got angry when you said Rs 10,000. So, let me say the final price; neither you nor they should object to it. Give each of them Rs 12,000, that's it,” said Apparao.

    The moment the final amount is announced, the daughter sellers break into smiles. K Nageshwara Rao, the second broker, used the opportunity to boast of his talents.
