Indian police said on Wednesday they had no evidence to suggest that the father of a child star in the Oscar-winning film “Slumdog Millionaire” tried to sell his daughter. The mother of 9-year-old Rubina Ali demanded an investigation after a sting operation by a British tabloid alleged her father tried to sell her. Rubina's father, Rafiq Qureshi, and other slum dwellers were subsequently questioned by police. “So far there is no evidence of any offense, hence there is no registration of complaint and no arrest,” a senior police officer, told Reuters on Wednesday. Rubina lives with her father and stepmother in a teeming slum in the suburbs of the financial hub. This week, a charitable trust from Qatar, offered to pay for Rubina's education, which is already being taken care off by the producers of the film.
