Khowai district administration officials and police on Saturday rescued a one-and-half-month old female infant. The child, found with a couple in Karbook Gomati district, had allegedly been sold for money.
“The baby is now with her biological parents. We will provide all necessary assistance to the family and will ensure protection of the child,” Khowai District Magistrate and Collector Chandni Chandran told mediapersons.
The child was recovered a day after Chief Minister Manik Saha directed the Khowai DM to initiate a probe into the matter.
