Odisha couple sells newborn for Rs 20,000, cops recover baby from Andhra Pradesh

A couple from Odisha’s Rayagada district reportedly sold their nine-day-old daughter to a couple in Andhra Pradesh for Rs 20,000, citing poverty. The parents, already struggling with a three-year-old and meager income, allegedly used a mediator and formalized the deal with a written agreement. Authorities are working to retrieve the infant and pursue legal action.
