Police in Uttar Pradesh have taken five individuals into custody following the discovery of a scheme involving the sale of an infant. According to authorities, the mother of the child reported a kidnapping, claiming her baby had been taken. However, subsequent investigations by law enforcement led to the discovery that the mother had allegedly sold the child for Rs 2 lakh.

Investigators state that the mother did not act alone, but rather worked in collusion with a local doctor, identified as Dr. Arun Kumar, and his wife. The police report indicates that the complainant—the child's father—was initially unaware of the arrangement and only discovered the truth after the investigation began. The five suspects, including the mother and the doctor, are currently facing charges related to the incident. The case has drawn significant attention due to the combination of human trafficking allegations and the fabrication of a criminal report to cover the transaction.
