The Navi Mumbai police rescued a 17-year-old girl, who was pushed into sex trade by her uncle, after her 21-year-old sister gathered courage and approached an Andheri-based NGO seeking help. Immediately after an NGO representative approached the Crime Branch, the cops swung into action and arrested the accused.

In her police complaint, the survivor's sister, who now lives in a group home, said that their uncle had even forced her into the sex business to recover the money he had spent for their parents' treatment. An NGO representative said, "Cops had rescued her during a raid and sent her to a shelter. After she turned 18, she started looking for a job, as she had to leave the place. However, she had no option but to visit the ladies service bars in Navi Mumbai to earn a living."
