A 17-year-old Indian girl was forced by her father to have sex for money with up to 200 men

Police in the southern Indian state of Kerala have arrested her father and 29 other people. The girl was raped by her father, starved and forced by him to have sex with other men. Police have dispatched special police teams to find up to 70 men she has named and accused of paying to have sex with her. These are said to include contractors, film producers and policemen. When the mother found out, the father threatened to kill the entire family unless the mother kept silent. Police have arrested the mother for not disclosing a crime. The girl was finally rescued when other relatives discovered what was going on and informed the police. She is currently in a shelter where she is undergoing treatment for depression, police say.
