Two Women Arrested in Mumbai for Illegal Egg Donation Racket
Two women, Sunoti Belel and Seema Vinzarat, were arrested at Mumbai airport for running an illegal egg donation and surrogacy racket.
They were caught by immigration officials who became suspicious of their travel to Bangkok.
Belel admitted to running an agency that supplied egg donors and surrogate mothers to fertility centers in India and abroad.
The women involved in this racket were unmarried, which is against the law in India.
They used fake documents to make it seem like they were married.
