Agra: since December last year, at least six couples who were unsuspecting in cities suddenly found their newborns lost.
There has never been a request for ransom – just just disappeared.
Seven months, the police found a gang behind him allegedly prepared a complicated plan – identifying pairs without children, promised them to babies, kidnapped a newborn baby and then sold a baby anywhere between Rs 45,000 and Rs 5 Lakh.
Sixteen people, including eight gang members and eight others – among them the mediators and people who buy children – have been arrested and sent to prison.
Every gang member cuts their work, Aligarh SP (City) Kuldeep Gunawat told Toi.
Five women in Gang – Babi, Chandni, Rikha, Neha and Rashmi – will look for a partner who wants a child.
Lately, though, the police said, some have approached the gang after they heard about the “solution” of the books with their problems from the couple who had received “help”.
After this, the gang will attack the agreement with the couple, promising children from any gender they like to compensate money.
They will then activate their midwife network, which will tell them about expecting mothers whose children can be taken away.
This is where other gang members will take over.
Brother Babi, Duryodhan from taking care of Ghaziabad and Shubham from Hathras will kidnap the newborn and hold them in their own home.
The gang women will then hand over the child, take money and close the deal.
For months, their operations were not detected.
On Sunday, Aligarh police received a tip-off – three men with bicycles “planned” to kidnap the baby.
At an intersection in Borna Village, the police team stopped the bicycle and took the three people to be questioned.
“When they were interrogated, they spilled beans in the operation of their child’s appointment,” said Aligarh Ssp Kalanidhi Naitinani.
The three men were Duryodhan, Anil and Shubham.
On the basis of what they said, the police focused on couples who had bought babies and others were involved in alleged rackets.
“A two-month-old girl (not sold, found in the neighboring house of Babi) and a nine-month-old boy from Ghaziabad (sold for Rs 1 lakh), and three children younger than two of Aligarh (sold at Rs.
45,000-RS 5 Lakh) saved, “SSP said.
“One boy, which is believed to have been kidnapped in December 2020, has not been traced.
He is allegedly sold to a partner in Mumbai through contact in Noida.”
