- Mother sells baby case leads police to Pune
Hyderabad: A case in which a mother sold her baby for Rs 2.40 lakh has come to light in Yellamma Gutta area of Nizamabad district. The incident surfaced after the baby’s father approached the police and filed a complaint. Following the complaint, police acted quickly and arrested four middlemen involved in the transaction. Officials said the case highlights the continued problem of illegal baby sales despite strict government measures.
According to police, government departments have been taking several strong steps to curb the sale of babies. However, such incidents continue to occur. In this case, the father’s complaint prompted immediate action. Police traced the transaction to Yellamma Gutta and began questioning those involved. As a result, four middlemen were arrested in connection with the case. Police confirmed that these arrests were made soon after the complaint was received.
Meanwhile, the baby’s mother was also detained by the police for questioning. During the inquiry, she reportedly admitted to selling the baby. She told police that she sold the baby to Vishal, a resident of Pune in Maharashtra, for Rs 2.40 lakh. Police recorded her statement as part of the investigation. However, officials have not released further details about the circumstances that led to the sale.
Mother sells baby, police register case and begin probe
Police have registered a formal case and started a detailed investigation into the incident. Officials said the focus is on identifying all those involved and understanding how the transaction was arranged. The arrest of four middlemen indicates that the sale involved a network rather than a single individual. Therefore, police are examining links and contacts connected to the case.
Later, police teams left for Pune to trace the buyer and recover the baby. Officials said the priority is to return the baby safely to its parents. They also said further action would depend on findings during the investigation. The police have not yet disclosed whether additional arrests are expected. However, the investigation remains ongoing.
This case once again raises concerns about illegal baby sales. Authorities have repeatedly warned against such practices and stressed that selling or buying children is a serious offence. Police said they will continue to take strict action against those involved in such crimes. Meanwhile, officials urged the public to report any similar incidents without delay.
The police have assured that they are handling the matter seriously. They said efforts are underway to ensure the child’s safety and to bring all responsible persons to justice. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
