New Delhi
In a major breakthrough against organised child trafficking, Delhi’s Central District Police have dismantled an inter-state child trafficking syndicate and arrested 13 accused persons, including traffickers, mediators, buyers, and a hospital owner, while rescuing five infants from different locations across Delhi, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. The investigation exposed a well-organised child trafficking network operating across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, with the hospital owner allegedly facilitating illegal adoptions and arranging fabricated documents to support the illegal transfer of infants. A cash amount of Rs 20,000, used as token money during a decoy operation, and Rs 2,92,400, allegedly intended for the purchase of a newborn child, were recovered during the investigation.
