Police Rescue Babies from Sale Attempts
In two different places, police stopped people from selling babies.
In Hyderabad, a woman tried to sell her 2-month-old baby for a lot of money.
The police caught the people who were going to buy the baby.
In Odisha, a couple sold their 1-month-old baby for Rs 35,000 because they had money problems.
The police found and saved the baby.
Both babies are now safe and will be taken care of by the authorities.
The police are still looking into what happened.
