Apparently There’s A Secret Baby Farm In India Where Unwanted Babies Are Sold Or Swapped!

Babies born out of rape or wedlock were being brought at a private hospital in India.

They were then sold for adoption for around £1,000 each.

Following a tip about the illegal trafficking of infants, the police raided the 30-bed Palash Hospital in the Gwalior district, then filed a case against the management who could not provide the location of two babies found at the hospital.

The hospital manager, Arun Bhadoria, was arrested. Meanwhile five people were charged, including hospital director TK Gupta, with "buying or disposing of any person as a slave, habitual dealing in slaves and buying minor for the purpose of prostitution."

Authorities have rescued two babies from the hospital. Unfortunately, three other babies have been sold to childless couples in Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, according to Times of India.

The Doctors at this hospital used to convince the parents assuring a safe and secret delivery.

A police officer said:

When a girl or her parents approached them for termination of pregnancies, doctors at this hospital used to convince them assuring a safe and secret delivery.

Once baby is delivered and mother gets discharged, hospital authorities start hunting for gullible couples who could buy them. In one case, a newborn girl was swapped with a boy.

Police are now searching for couples who bought babies from the hospital and those that were sold at the hotel.

Rani Bilkhu, from the charity Jeena International, who had campaigned against sex-selective abortion in the past said:

It is concerning that health professionals who are expected to act in the best interests of their patients are being led by financial gain. Human trafficking must be tackled on a multi-prong approach. Adoption must be transparent and in the best interest of both parties and child.
