Delhi Child Trafficking Racket Busted: 25-Day-Old Baby Sold for ₹8 Lakh, Rescued by Police in Rohini

In a shocking case of child trafficking, Delhi Police have rescued a 25-day-old infant who was allegedly sold for ₹8 lakh in the Rohini area of the national capital. The operation exposed an organized trafficking network involved in the illegal sale of newborn babies.

According to police officials, the infant was reportedly taken from the biological parents and sold through a chain of middlemen. Acting on a tip-off and intelligence inputs, police launched an investigation and traced the baby to a family in Rohini. The child was safely recovered during a raid conducted by law enforcement authorities.

Preliminary investigations revealed that several individuals were involved in facilitating the deal, including agents who allegedly arranged the transfer and handled the financial transactions. Multiple suspects have been detained, and police are investigating whether the accused are linked to a larger interstate child trafficking network.

The rescued infant has been handed over to child welfare authorities for medical examination and care. Officials are now working to determine the circumstances under which the child was sold and whether the biological parents were coerced, misled, or directly involved in the transaction.

Police have registered a case under relevant sections related to human trafficking, illegal adoption, and criminal conspiracy. Authorities have assured that strict action will be taken against all those involved.

The incident has once again highlighted the growing concern over child trafficking and illegal adoption rackets operating across the country. Child rights activists have called for stronger monitoring mechanisms and stricter enforcement to prevent such crimes and protect vulnerable children.
