In a significant operation, Delhi’s Central District Police have dismantled an inter-state child trafficking syndicate, leading to the arrest of 13 individuals involved in trafficking, mediation, and buying infants. The police rescued five infants from various locations in Delhi, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. The syndicate was found to operate across multiple states, with a hospital owner allegedly aiding in illegal adoptions and providing fake documents for the transfer of infants.
The investigation uncovered a well-organized network involved in procuring infants from different sources and selling them to childless couples for monetary gain. The arrested individuals were part of a larger trafficking syndicate spanning multiple states, with key players identified as suppliers, mediators, and facilitators. The syndicate operated through a structured network involving various roles such as suppliers, transporters, and buyers, with infants being prepared for illegal transfer upon reaching Delhi.
The arrested individuals were found to be part of a coordinated effort to procure infants and arrange their sale to childless couples. The involvement of a hospital owner in facilitating illegal adoptions and providing fabricated documents to support the trafficking operation was a significant revelation. The police also arrested individuals who were allegedly purchasing trafficked infants, leading to the rescue of several infants from different locations.
