'Baby Farm': Hospital Slammed for Selling and Swapping Unwanted Newborns

A hospital was raided after police officers received a tip that it sells and swaps newborns. The hospital is said to have a "baby farm" wherein parents in search of a child can purchase and even swap a newborn from the establishment.

According to Mirror, the babies came from unwanted pregnancies. When the mother would opt to have the baby aborted, the hospital management would convince her to have the child which would then be sold for about £1000.

The private hospital is located within the Gwalior district in India. Times in India released a report stating that the hospital's manager was already arrested. The police then added that majority of the babies' mother were raped or got pregnant out of wedlock.

 "When a girl or her parents approached them for termination of pregnancies," the officer, Prateek Kumar stated. "Doctors at this hospital used to convince them assuring a safe and secret delivery. Once baby is delivered and mother gets discharged, hospital authorities start hunting for gullible couples who could buy them."

The hospital does not only sell newborn babies but they also offer child swapping. The officers noted that there was once a couple who swapped their daughter into a baby boy.

The police have been doing their best to resolve the issue as it was mentioned that the hospital manager could not give then a concrete answer. According to the police, the hospital manager Arun Bhadoria did not provide the whereabouts of the babies that were sold. It was stated that Bhadoria hired agents to fetch the mothers in the Chambal region and continue the transaction from then on.

Several arguments have been discussed in regards to the case. While some posted their opinions expressing that selling babies should be illegal, there are those that are in favor of selling newborns as long as they are in good hands. Do let us know your opinions on the comments section below.
