Indian police have not yet found any evidence to verify the allegation that the father of 9-year-old “Slumdog Millionaire” actress Rubina, did try to sell her to a Sheikh from Dubai, according to AFP.
“We have not registered a case against Rubina Qureshi’s father and are still continuing with investigations,” a senior police officer was recently quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency.
The rumor has it that the Dubai sheikh who almost bought Rubina contacted her father after Slumdog’s Academy Award wins. The sheikh and is wife were interested in adopting the little starlet, since the sheikh’s wife was no longer able to have children.
Rubina’s father has admitted that met with the Sheikh, but he still denies that he agreed to sell his daughter.
