Mumbai's Dharavi police have dismantled a child trafficking syndicate and rescued a 16-month-old boy. Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the alleged sale of the infant. According to police, the child was first sold by a Dharavi couple for ₹1.05 lakh. The accused allegedly resold the child through intermediaries, eventually selling him for ₹4.80 lakh to a couple in Tamil Nadu.
The case was reported by Sunny Singh, a 39-year-old security guard from Uttar Pradesh, after his sister's missing child led him to the Dharavi residence where the alleged sale took place. Singh's sister later confessed that the child had been sold to a woman named Rani for ₹1.05 lakh on August 2. The police investigation traced the individuals involved, including Rani and other alleged intermediaries.
Deepak More, Zaida Khan, Priya Borhade and Akash Borhade were among those arrested. The child was reportedly transported from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu, and some of the accused were reportedly employed at an IVF centre. The police are now investigating whether the accused are part of a larger organized network involved in the illegal buying and selling of children.
