An investigation by Bareilly police into the abduction of an 18-month-old boy has unveiled a significant child trafficking and illegal adoption network. The probe began after the child was kidnapped on May 24 from Aonla, leading to the arrest of six individuals, including a nurse from a government health facility. Authorities have revealed that the network has been operational for nearly a year, with arrests made following the interrogation of key suspects. The accused allegedly facilitated the sale of children by paying women to carry pregnancies to term and then selling the newborns after delivery. While three children have been identified as trafficked, two remain unaccounted for. The investigation is ongoing, with police exploring connections to medical professionals and IVF centers in various regions, including Gurugram and Delhi. The arrested individuals face charges under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including trafficking and kidnapping.
