     The arrested duo, Sandeep Yadav and Satveer Yadav, "bought" the girl for Rs 2 lakh from her aunt who is absconding, Murlipura SHO Sunil Kumar said.
     The teenager later became the mother of two children at the age of 12 and 14, Kumar said.
     The accused made an Aadhar card of the victim using false information, the police said.
     According to SHO Kumar, the girl managed to escape and lodge a complaint at the Murlipura police station here on Tuesday.
     Based on her complaint, a case was lodged under sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) and other relevant sections, the SHO said.
