Several cases of babies being sold after childbirth have been reported in the past few days, giving rise to fears of infant-selling gangs operating in the State.
Sources say such gangs have been operating in the twin Telugu States, with many cases going unreported. Hospital ‘ayahs’, security guards, Registered Medical Practitioners (RMPs), and domestic helps, who enjoy mostly unrestricted access to maternity wards, are usually the ones who operate in these gangs.
