Child trafficking racket busted in Ahmedabad while newborn was being shifted to Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Ahmedabad police busted a child trafficking racket after stopping a car that was illegally transporting a newborn to Hyderabad. During a routine inspection, officers discovered the infant inside the vehicle and immediately launched an investigation.

They arrested four individuals, including Roshan Agarwal, an agent from Hyderabad who played a central role in the child trafficking plan. According to investigators, the group bought the baby from a private hospital in Ahmedabad for ₹3.60 lakh. They intended to sell the child to clients in Hyderabad.

Initially, the suspects gave vague and conflicting answers when police asked about the infant. Their lack of clarity raised red flags and led officers to suspect child trafficking.

Officers detained the group for further questioning. During the inquiry, they uncovered a wider child trafficking network operating across state lines. Roshan Agarwal coordinated the transaction and had arranged the transfer from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad. Authorities arrested him along with three accomplices.

Police moved swiftly to secure the rescued infant. The baby is now in protective custody. Officials are working to identify the child’s biological parents and reunite them after completing verification procedures.

Meanwhile, investigators suspect this case is part of a larger interstate child trafficking ring. They are continuing efforts to trace other actors connected to the operation and expand the probe into related activities between Gujarat and Telangana.
