A doctor of Tiruchengode Government Hospital and a woman were arrested and remanded for forcing a couple to sell their newly born infant and for selling newborn in the past. The doctor was placed under suspension.
Based on a complaint lodged by a mill worker, the Tiruchengode police nabbed a woman identified as T. Logambal (38) who reportedly approached him, forcing the father to sell his third newborn daughter to a childless couple. During inquiry, the woman confessed to have been aided by the government hospital doctor A. Anuradha who reportedly tipped-off Logambal about the newborns.
