Upon investigation by a DCW team, it was learnt that the child has been bought and sold five times, it said.

The DCW said an FIR was registered in the matter and the Delhi Police recovered the baby from Sonipat in Haryana. The accused were arrested, it added.

 

The Commission suspects a big child trafficking racket was behind it.
