The police recovered the baby from a BJP corporator’s house in Firozabad, around 100 kilometres from Mathura, where it was stolen.
The Mathura police has also arrested two doctors who were involved in multi-layered child trafficking. The two doctors were running a small-scale hospital in the neighbouring Hathras district.
BJP leader Vinita Agarwal, from whom the child was recovered, admitted to police that she and her husband wanted a boy, and for the same, they had bought the child from the doctors for a sum of Rs 1.8 lakh. The couple already has a daughter.
In a press conference, senior officials of Mathura police handed over the child to his mother. The parents were seen thanking the police for their efforts.
