The Karachi police have announced the apprehension of a female suspect allegedly connected to the illicit trafficking of newborns, revealing the recovery of an infant from her possession.
Reportedly, the detained suspect, identified as Fatima, was involved in acquiring newborns from hospitals and various rural areas in Karachi. The Kharadar Police asserted that the rescued newborn had been purchased by the suspect from a village near Thatta for Rs 200,000. Fatima had subsequently traveled to Karachi with the intention of 'selling' the infant.
A case has been filed against the arrested newborn trafficker, Fatima, by the police.
This incident follows a similar case from the previous year when Peshawar police claimed to have arrested two suspects, including a woman, involved in the kidnapping of a newborn from Hayatabad Medical Complex. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nayab Moiz stated that the accused were identified through CCTV footage.
Subsequently, after conducting a DNA test on the applicant and the kidnapped male infant, the minor child was reunified with the parents. The ASP added that the accused had abducted the child from the gynecological ward and handed over another girl to the parents.
