Mangalore Today News Network
Lucknow, May 14, 2021: In a bizarre incident, a couple in Uttar Pradesh sold their three-month-old son for Rs 1.5 lakh to buy a second-hand car.
According to a media report, the matter came to light after the child’s maternal grandparents lodged a complaint against the parents on Thursday.
According to the complaint, the parents - residents of the Tirwa Kotwali police station area in Kannauj - sold their three-month-old baby to a Gursahaiganj-based businessman for Rs 1.5 lakh “to buy a four-wheeler”.
“While the baby is still in the possession of the trader, we have called the woman and her husband for questioning on Friday,” Inspector Kotwali Shailendra Kumar Mishra told The Times of India.
The inspector told the paper that the couple recently purchased a second-hand car.
