The Story in Brief
The Dharavi police have booked a couple for allegedly selling their 13-month-old son for Rs 1.05 lakh and then faking his death. The complaint was filed by the woman’s brother, Sunny Singh, a security guard from Goregaon. He said his sister Roli, 33, first told their mother the baby had died after a fall, but later admitted the sale on August 2. A middlewoman named Rani has been detained, and the baby is still missing.
According to Freepress Journal, Singh grew suspicious when he could not find the couple at the hospital they named. He forced them to the police station. A case has been registered under the Juvenile Justice Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The Indian Opinion
Stories of parents selling children for money spark instant outrage, but the real test is whether the system can recover the boy. The couple’s elaborate lie about a fall suggests they knew the crime would not end with the sale. The middlewoman, Rani, is the key. If she leads police to the baby, the case will be about trafficking. If not, it becomes a vanishing trail. Where is the child now?
