Hyderabad Police Arrest Woman in Attempted Sale of Four-Day-Old Baby Girl
Hyderabad police, aided by social activist Safiya Mahi, foiled an alleged attempt to sell a four-day-old baby girl. Waheeda Khatoon, a Chandrayangutta resident, was arrested after offering the infant for sale, initially priced at Rs 6 lakh and later reduced to Rs 5 lakh. The transaction was planned in Shaheen Nagar and then near JGR Function Hall in Pahadi Shareef. The baby's biological mother had recently delivered and was discharged from a Malakpet hospital. Authorities are investigating potential involvement of others and a possible trafficking network.
