Rafiq Qureshi, who lives in one of India’s worst slums in the Mumbai, allegedly tried to sell his nine-year-old daughter.

According to reports, Qureshi allegedly said, “We are considering Rubina’s future. We’ve got nothing out of this film.  They haven’t looked after us.  They gave some money at the start but they gave nothing afterwards. They gave us around 150,000 rupees ($2,600).”

“They have been talking about giving us a house, but all they do is talk,” he allegedly said.

It is alleged that Qureshi’s brother-in-law was the broker in the illegal transaction, and when the interested party called to purchase the child, he lower the price from $300,000 to $100,000.
