Parents parted with him for ₹10,000
A 10-day-old infant was rescued by the Bhubaneswar police after his biological parents, who were reportedly struggling to make both ends meet due to poverty, sold him for ₹10,000 to a couple in the city. The incident had taken place on June 14, but it came to light on Friday. The woman, who had ‘bought’ the baby boy, was identified as Sumedin Bibi. She has admitted to have paid the money. The infant was produced before the Child Welfare Committee, Khordha, a quasi-judiciary body constituted as per the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.More Related News
