Gujarat Police Bust Inter-State Baby Trafficking Network
The Gujarat Police recently stopped a car near Ahmedabad airport and found a 15-day-old baby inside.
The police had information that the baby was being sold and was part of a bigger illegal network.
They arrested three people, including two who had been caught doing this before.
The baby was bought for a lot of money and was supposed to be sold again in Hyderabad.
The police are still looking for more people involved and trying to find the baby's real mother.
This shows how serious the problem of baby trafficking is and how important it is to stop these criminals.
Gujarat Police intercepted a car near Ahmedabad airport, rescuing a 15-day-old newborn from traffickers.
Three accused were arrested, including two repeat offenders linked to previous child trafficking cases in Hyderabad.
The baby was allegedly bought for Rs 3.60 lakh and was to be sold again in Hyderabad for further profit.
