With child trafficking racket raising its ugly head time and again, Mysuru Superintendent of Police R. Chethan has sought to caution the public against illegal adoption. Addressing a press conference after Nanjangud police rescued two babies sold illegally to childless couples and admitted them to a government-recognised child care centre, Mr. Chethan said sale as well as purchase of babies is illegal. Adoption of children can be conducted only through the statutory procedure established under the guidelines of Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA). “It is illegal to both sell and buy babies”, he said before warning such people that the law will catch up with them while bringing child trafficking racketeers to book.
