My aunt and uncle were the ones who took me… I don’t have a father. My mother was blind. I was the only child. My dad passed away when I was little.
I was 10 years old. My aunt said lets go. She told me we would be back in 3 days. So I said okay and decided to go. She took me to Pune and sold me there. I didn’t even know Hindi then, I didn’t know anything.
I said to someone there “Please call my aunt. I want to go home. I want to go back. There’s no one to feed my mother.”
When I said this, they said, “You’re aunt has sold you here. She’s gone. She won’t come back now.”
It was then I realized that the place I had been sold to was a brothel.
