By Rajesh Saha: Three NGO workers have been arrested for duping childless couples on the pretext of arranging kids for adoption. The incident came to the fore when the police found an advertisement regarding child adoption on the road.
The advertisement invited couples to the NGO for child adoption. During the patrolling, a police officer of Haridevpur police station, Pritam Biswas, found a similar advertisement at Kabardanga More on Mahatma Gandhi Road.
Based on the advertisement given by Sri Ramkrishna Natun Jibandan Sevashram, the police official contacted the NGO and nabbed the accused persons.
Police sources said, seeing the said advertisement, the officer contacted the subscriber, Ranjit Das, who stated that he himself, his wife Madhabi Roy, his sister-in-law Supriya and others run a society named Sri Ramkrishna Natun Jibandan Sevashram.
The contact person informed the police that they have recently started arranging children for the couples and facilitating an easy adoption process for them within the shortest possible time.
INVESTIGATION BEGIN
During the investigation, it was found that the accused was involved in fraudulent activities. He used to take money for providing kids.
Saumya Roy, DCP of Kolkata police told India Today, "When this suspicious advertisement came into our notice, we conducted a thorough inquiry which revealed that it was an advertisement of a fraud racket. We started a Suo-moto case as ordinary people are being cheated by fraudsters. We detained the person and then arrested three accused after questioning him."
Kolkata Police sources claimed the prime accused, Ranjit Das, was a taxi driver but, due to his less income, he left driving and started a water business.
