Hisar, Nov 14 (UNI) The Haryana Police have arrested a man from Madhya Pradesh for allegedly selling a minor girl from Hisar to another person, who was previously arrested in the case, officials said on Saturday.
The accused, identified as Bhagwan Singh, son of Kishan Lal, was arrested by a team from Azad Nagar police in Hisar at his native village, Seel Kheda, in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore district.
