Baby Trafficking Racket Busted in Delhi-NCR; Gang Sold Over 30 Infants to Rich Families, Mastermind Still Absconding

Delhi Police rescue newborn and arrest three members of an inter-state human trafficking network; probe reveals racket stretched across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and NCR.

New Delhi | April 14, 2025:
In a shocking revelation, the Delhi Police have uncovered a child trafficking network that sold over 30 newborn babies to affluent families across the Delhi-NCR region. Operating across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi, the gang targeted infants from impoverished tribal families and sold them for ₹5–10 lakh each.

Modus Operandi and Criminal Background

The gang reportedly sourced babies from tribal communities in Pali, on the Gujarat-Rajasthan border. Saroj, the mastermind, assigned Yasmin the task of abducting infants. Once secured, Saroj coordinated the ‘deliveries’ with Anjali and collected the payments directly from wealthy families in Delhi-NCR.

Police noted that Anjali had previously been arrested by the CBI in another trafficking case but resumed illegal activity after being released on bail. Both Yasmin and Anjali were also involved in illegal egg donation in the past.

Authorities are now working to identify the families who purchased the trafficked infants, and confirmed that legal action will be initiated against them as well.

The Delhi Police have launched a manhunt for Saroj and are coordinating with counterparts in Rajasthan and Gujarat to dismantle the full network.
