Rachakonda police arrest key accused in infant trafficking racket, traced to Ahmedabad
Hyderabad police have arrested Vandana, a key figure in an illegal infant trafficking network operating in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Vandana is suspected of supplying babies to Kola Krishnaveni, who was previously arrested for trafficking infants across state lines. The investigation began after police uncovered an interstate child trafficking ring and rescued four infants. Krishnaveni, along with other accomplices, had been procuring infants from Vandana and selling them to families for between Rs 2-3 lakh for girls and Rs 4-5 lakh for boys. Police are urging citizens interested in adoption to follow legal procedures and avoid dealing with unauthorized agents or intermediaries.06:40 PM Mar 07, 2025 IST
