A class 10 girl from Mumbai has accused her mother and their male neighbour of forcing her into prostitution for money. According to officials, the complaint was lodged by the girl’s school teacher at the Ghatkopar police station on Tuesday night. 

The police have registered a case and launched a probe into the allegations. Further actions will be taken based on the evidence gathered. 

Why Did the Teen Finally Confide in Her Teacher?

According to the police officials, a class 10 girl once fled her home and stayed with a friend for three days, but after returning, her mother and neighbour forced her back into prostitution. The girl, unable to bear the ongoing abuse, sought support from a friend and finally opened up to her class teacher about what she had been enduring.
