Police could not charge a father

Today an Indian police would not charge the father of a child star in the hit movie Slumdog Millionaire. The police ended their investigation into what the father tried to sell his 9-year-old girl to a reporter. Rubina Ali's estranged mother is Khurshid Monish Dewade. She filed a complaint against the girl's father on Sunday. This was after the British tabloid News. They World reported that he offered to give Ali up for adoption in exchange for $400,000. That's what the police said. The newspaper owned by News International Ltd. is the main British subsidiary of News Corp.It is also owned by Slumdog person Fox Searchlight Pictures. He said the deal was offered to one of its reporters. The newspaper issued a statement Thursday saying it stands by its story. This story complicated the lives of the families of the child stars. Officers looked for them at the Leela. The Leela is a five-star hotel where the report said they met Qureshi but they had already left. That's what Shaikh said. Police traced two mobile phone numbers the trio gave the hotel to local Vodafone SIM cards. These were activated on April 16 and deactivated on April 19. This was very stupid but I learned something new.
