Woman held in rape and baby-sale probe

Preeti and her husband Vinod, who each go by one name, ran the agency offering maids to families, police said.

The couple allegedly lured girls with promises of work, but instead confined them to a small room where they were raped to make them pregnant. Their children were later sold to childless couples.

Police charged Preeti with rape, kidnapping, threat to life and wrongful confinement and were hunting for Vinod.
