A man who was unable to treat his ailing wife has sold his daughter for Rs.1,500(US$ 38)in Jharkhand state of India, media reports said Tuesday.

Mantu Verma of Hariharpur village sold the girl on Dec 1 to Ranthu Kerketta, a government employee of Simega district.

According to the reports, Verma's wife got burnt some months ago but he was unable to pay for her treatment. When his condition became so bad that he could not buy food for his wife and daughter, Verma decided to sell the latter.

Kerketta denied he had bought the girl. 'I have adopted Pinki to save her from falling into wrong hands. I already have four children. Now Pinki leads a good life where she can get food,' he said.
