The girl has been shifted to a district child care center and is undergoing counseling. As per police, Subbaiah was married earlier but his wife left him after a marital discord. A case has been registered against the accused and he is being interrogated. Andhra Pradesh has the 2nd highest number of Human Trafficking cases. The first is Maharashtra.
