For years, it has just been pure stonewalling. There is pin-drop silence from the CBFC. They will not tell us what their problem is, which parts offend them or who is making these calls. …

Infants called as ‘files’, payments in cash: Probe deepens into trafficking racket | Delhi News

Published by Parlour News

HIra Multi Speciality Hospital in Northwest Delhi’s Begumpur — the epicentre of an alleged interstate child trafficking network — on Friday wore a deserted look with shutters down even as posters on the services offered could still be seen outside. The owner of the medical facility, Dr Viveki, is among the 13 people who have been arrested in the last 15 days for their alleged involvement in the syndicate that had been running for more than a year. A few kilometres away, at her residence in Rohini, a kin said she was unaware of the alleged racket. “The doctor’s husband is a government employee… her daughters are also preparing for the medical entrance exam,” an officer said.

Raids are being carried out in parts of Uttar Pradesh to recover two infants even as five have been …
