Summary
- Inter-state infant trafficking syndicate busted by Delhi Police.
- Twelve accused arrested in Delhi and Rajasthan operations.

An extensive inter-state syndicate involved in the illicit buying and selling of infants has been busted by the Delhi Police. The operation led to the arrest of twelve individuals, with key arrests occurring in both Delhi and Rajasthan.
During the successful operation, authorities managed to rescue five infants who were victims of this trafficking network. The syndicate's modus operandi involved obtaining infants from other states by creating forged birth certificates.
These newborns were then sold to families willing to pay significant amounts, reportedly in the region of lakhs of rupees. Evidence suggests that over twenty babies were transacted across the Delhi-NCR, including sales in Haryana.
Investigators are actively working to map the full scope of this trafficking ring and its connections across different states. The investigation is ongoing, with further details expected as the probe progresses.
