Delhi Police Rescue Infant, Arrest Two in Interstate Child Trafficking Probe
Delhi Police rescued a 25-day-old infant in Rohini and arrested two individuals, Garima Jain and her father-in-law Satish Jain, for allegedly purchasing the baby for Rs 8 lakh. This marks the sixth child recovered in an interstate trafficking racket that reportedly sold nearly 30 infants over 18 months. The syndicate targeted vulnerable families in Rajasthan and Gujarat, buying newborns for Rs 10,000 to Rs 2 lakh and selling them to childless couples for Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, using forged documents and private hospitals. Efforts continue to identify biological parents and make further arrests.
