Police personnel broke open the doors of the Pandav Nagar house in east Delhi on Saturday night following complaints by neighbours that Pihu Ghosh was being held in the house against her will.
The girl, however, claimed she had voluntarily confined herself in the house.
"We were told the girl was being confined by her mother who visited her once a day to give her food. We found the girl in poor physical condition, locked inside the house full of garbage," said Joint Commissioner of Police Ravindra Yadav.
Neighbours told the police that the mother stayed elsewhere with her elder daughter.
"The girl (Pihu) seems to be under depression," said Yadav.
She is now admitted to a hospital and will be taken to the Child Welfare Committee after her condition improves.
The mother, Krishna Ghosh, 44, is separated from her husband and a case of maintenance against him is pending since 2011.
