A court here Thursday sent four people to police custody till July 31 in connection with the alleged sexual abuse of a minor girl.
Following the complaints of the minor that she was held captive and repeatedly sexually abused, police late Wednesday arrested four people, including the mother of the victim.
All the accused were brought before a city court which remanded them in police custody.
