A shocking case of child trafficking has emerged from Karimnagar district, Telangana, where a Hyderabad-based woman allegedly sold her seven-day-old baby boy for ₹6 lakh. According to Karimnagar Town 2 Police, the woman was in a relationship with a man who later abandoned her, leaving her pregnant.
Police said that after giving birth, the woman claimed she did not have the financial means to raise the newborn and decided to sell the child. CCTV footage showing her carrying the infant has surfaced and gone viral on social media.
