The 16-year-old managed to escape to New Delhi last month and lodged a complaint, followed by registration of a case against 113 persons and arrest of a 26-year-old woman.
The case is believed to be linked with attempted rape and torture of a model who had escaped to the capital with the minor girl, earlier leading to arrest of four people.

Those apprehended had been found to have links with a sex racket in the city, as per the case registered.
According to police, one of the accused, identified as Rohit Bhandari, lured the girl into getting her job at a beauty parlour to Pune in January 2014 but forced her into prostitution.
The man also raped and drugged the girl and made her engage in sex with multiple people, moving her to Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bhopal.
The victim was later brought to Pune again and kept at a flat from where she escaped with the 24-year-old model and succeeded in reaching New Delhi.
