Life comes cheap?
“Oct 4: Investigation into the sale of a baby boy by his mother in Odisha’s Jajpur district has revealed curious details – the money was used to buy a mobile phone and a pair of jeans among other things.
“Rakhi Patra of Mundamala village who sold her 17 month-old son for Rs 5000 purchased a new mobile phone, a pair of jeans, few new tops (to go with jeans) and memory cards for her mobile with themoney,” Jajpur superintendent of police Deepak Kumar said today.
The investigations were conducted when a division bench of Orissa High Court took suo moto cognisance of media reports on the sale and directed the police to recover the baby and hand him over to his mother.
Rejecting the mother’s claim that she sold the child to meet the legal expenses of her jailed husband, Kumar said her new acquisitions were evidence of the fact that she did not sell her baby boy due to poverty.”
