NEW DELHI: Police in the Indian capital said Wednesday they have broken up an illegal adoption racket in which newborn babies were stolen from hospitals and sold to couples.
Police have arrested three members of a group operating a fake charity in New Delhi that allegedly sold two dozen babies and toddlers to couples for up to 550,000 rupees ($8,600) each.
“The children were either stolen at birth, (or later) kidnapped or bought from poor parents,” Dependra Pathak, joint commissioner for southwest Delhi, told AFP.
