A man who put up his wife and three-year-old daughter for sale on the social networking site Facebook has been arrested.
Dilip of Khargone district in Madhya Pradesh tried to sell his family with a price tag of Rs 1 lakh. He Shared the photo of his wife and daughter and offered his contact number.
His weird post was, ‘I want to return the money I have borrowed from various persons. Therefore, I’m selling my wife for Rs one lakh. Anybody interested in buying her can contact me on my mobile number.’
Dilip received many inquiries in this regard but one user was smart enough to report the sale to the police, who intervened in the matter and took him into custody. The Police also made him withdraw the sale from Facebook.
A case under Section 509 (Act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered against Dilip.
