Bhubaneswar: Police rescued the infant baby boy, who was sold by his mother for Rs 1 lakh, from Vizag. The baby is currently undergoing treatment at a community health centre in Paradip.
Police have launched a manhunt to nab the mother who sold her baby and the middleman.
As per reports, Mamina Sarda, a slum-dweller, had given birth to a baby boy at Atharabanki government hospital on Sunday. She is reported to have sold her one-day-old boy to a Telugu-speaking man on the very next day of her delivery.
The incident came to light when another woman named Manga levelled allegations against Mamina that the latter had first agreed to sell the baby to her but did not keep her promise. Instead of selling the baby to her, Mamina alleged to have sold her baby boy to a Telugu-speaking man who hails from Vizag.
