Agartala, Aug 17 : The Tripura government has decided to send a police team to Haryana for investigation into alleged selling of two girls from Kanchanpur area of North Tripura by the villagers.
Police sources here today said two girls from poverty stricken families were sold to a ''marriage bureau'' in Haryana in April. One Prant Nath and his wife Bela Rani Nath, who had been doing business with Dharmanagar based Santosh Das, were accused in the case.
According to report, the Nath family had assured the victims' parents that they would be given jobs in Haryana but the girls were sold to a marriage bureau.
The victims' families brought the matter to the notice of the Tripura Women's Commission last month and the commission launched investigation.
Women's Commission officials said that initial investigation established the allegations and a police team would go to Haryana next week for follow up action. They said with the declining sex ratio in Haryana, these kinds of activities were increasing and innocent poor families in the Northeastern region were falling prey.
