[RxPG] Ranchi, April 26 - Police suspect that three girls who went missing from their Jharkhand village have left for cities to work as domestic maids.
Gudia Khatoon, 12, Asmana Khatoon, 14 and Manisha Khatoon, 16, are all residents of Bansjari village under Mandar block, 70 km from Ranchi.
Their family members, who have filed 'missing' complaints, have stated that two other girls - Phoolmani and Ranjeeta Urain - had been trying to convince their daughters to work in the city.
'According to the villagers, the three missing girls were last spotted with Ranjeeta and Phoolmani, against whom complaints are lodged,' said a police official.
Said Asmana Khatoon's mother: 'These two girls work as mediators. First they tried to convince us to send our daughters to New Delhi. When we refused, they tried to convince our girls, who are illiterate and have never been outside the village.'
