Police in the Indian capital said Wednesday, June 10, 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 Agence France-Presse. "It was a sophisticated racket and so far they have confessed to selling 24 babies," Pathak told AFP.
