Delhi Police have uncovered a major baby trafficking racket that allegedly bought newborns from poor families in Rajasthan and Gujarat and sold them to childless couples in several states. Investigators said baby boys were sold for ₹6-8 lakh, while girls were sold for ₹3-4 lakh. The operation began after police received a tip about a woman frequently seen with different infants. A decoy operation led to multiple arrests and the rescue of five babies. Police allege a hospital in Delhi's Rohini area was used to forge documents and hold infants before sale. Authorities say at least 30 infants may have been trafficked in the past year.
