Babies are the joy and delight in a family’s life. Some women who are unable to give birth look for other options- such as adoption, IVF, and other various methods. Some who can, but don’t want the responsibility, or are too young, give up their babies.
Maharashtra police on Tuesday arrested a homeopathic doctor and his wife for allegedly selling newborns in Kolhapur district. Police said Arun Bhupal Patil sold two babies over the last three months for Rs 2 lakh each. According to Priyadarshini Chorage, district head of the child welfare committee, Patil would help unmarried women deliver children and give all the cash from the sale to the mothers.

Chorage said Patil has confessed to selling a new-born delivered by a minor mother to a family in Chhattisgarh on December 23, 2017 for Rs 2 lakh. “He has also confessed to selling a new-born baby to a couple in Mumbai but has not revealed the details,” she added.
Police said Patil, his wife Ujwalla and a couple who took the baby had been booked under relevant sections of IPC and the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015.
