Hubby sells wife to traffickers in Jhansi

According to reports, one Ranjan Jena hailing from Baghamari area under Khurda district loved a woman and had tied the nuptial knot with her on July 31, 2009 in Amophoi. Later, Jena had also brought his wife with him to Jhansi on the pretext of earning their bread and butter together.

But, the woman’s world fell apart when the once die hard lover traded his wife to traffickers in Jhansi.
