There is quite a sad happening going on in India as news have been released that there are swaps and buying of infants happening in their country. The said happening was founded by the Indian police through a tip off they had.
According to the reports, infants born out of wedlock and rape are being delivered in a private hospital in India, which would sell the infants to childless couples for a 1,000 euros. The police also found out that not only are babies being sold, they are being swapped by parents who do not like the sex of their child.
Two of the babies who were supposedly going to be sold were recently rescued by the Indian police from the 30-bed Palash Hospital in the Gwalior district. Prateek Kumar of the ASP crime branch told Times of India that "Three others have been sold to childless couples in Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh."
The Indian police raided the hospital last Saturday after they had tip from someone about the child trafficking happening in the hospital. The hospital has also been formally charged after the staff could not provide the whereabouts of two babies found in the hospital.
Numerous hospital staff has also been charged including the hospital director TK Gupta, with buying or disposing of any person as slave, habitual, dealing in slaves and buying minor for the purpose of prostitution. Arun Bhadoria, the hospital's director, was also arrested by the police.
"When a girl or her parents approached them for termination of pregnancies, doctors at this hospital used to convince them assuring a safe and secret delivery.Once baby is delivered and mother gets discharged, hospital authorities start hunting for gullible couples who could buy them," a police officer commented on the situation.
Police are now looking for the couples who have swapped and or bought babies from the hospital. Leave comments below and tell us how you feel about this story!
