Kerala police have arrested two people in connection with an alleged baby-selling racket in Kottayam. The case came to light after a complaint from a woman from Assam, prompting local authorities to begin an investigation.
According to the initial details available, pregnant women were allegedly approached through Instagram and drawn in with fake adoption-related offers. Investigators are examining how the suspects allegedly used social media to identify and target vulnerable women.
The allegations suggest the operation focused on pregnant women who may have been misled about adoption arrangements. Police action in Kottayam now appears to be centered on tracing the method used to contact victims and determining the full scope of the suspected racket.
With two arrests made, the Kerala police investigation is likely to focus on whether more people were involved and whether other women were contacted in a similar way. The case has also raised concern about the misuse of social media platforms in suspected trafficking and baby-selling schemes.
