When Seema did not return, her brother Santosh tried to locate her and met Rawat, one Pittu and a woman Munni Kushwaha in this regard. They told him that she was living in Kaseda village in Rajasthan with Meena. Santosh then rushed to Kaseda to meet Seema where she narrated the whole incident to him.
When he tried to bring her back, Meena along with other villagers manhandled him and forced him to go back without her.
Santosh later reported the matter to Morena Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar, following which a police team was sent to Kaseda village but they were also beaten by the villagers.
The SP confirmed that Seema was sold and now a fresh police team will be sent to Kaseda to rescue her.
Meanwhile, the three accused in the case are absconding and efforts are on to nab them, he said.
