Multiple reports describe a purported infant trafficking operation operating in Delhi, commonly referred to as a “baby bazaar.” According to the accounts, a gang allegedly procures newborns from underprivileged families, including parents in Rajasthan and Gujarat, and then sells the infants to childless couples in Delhi.
The reports say the transactions involve significant sums of money, with alleged pricing that differs by the child’s sex. One account states that baby boys are sold for amounts described as reaching Rs 8 lakh, while baby girls are reportedly sold for roughly half that price. The same reports characterize the activity as involving the transfer of infants through intermediaries rather than legitimate adoption processes.
The articles focus on the alleged recruitment and sale mechanism—where infants are reportedly obtained from poorer households and later transferred to intended parents—along with the claimed price differences. The coverage does not indicate any final legal outcome, and details such as the number of children involved and the status of investigations are not specified in the provided excerpts.
