Indian 'sold newborn grandson on Facebook for £850' They arrested the grandfather, an associate, two hospital nurses and a man in Delhi who they claim bought the baby. Feroze Khan allegedly took his new-born grandson while his daughter slept at Satyam Hospital in Ludhiana, Punjab, and with the help of hospital staff transported him to Amit Kumar, the Delhi-based buyer who had agreed to pay 70,000 Rupees (£850) after seeing pictures of the newborn which had been sent to him on Facebook. Police launched their investigation after Mr Khan's daughter Noor registered a complaint against him, accusing him of kidnapping and selling her son. They traced the child to Delhi where he was being treated at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. Detectives told the Hindustan Times that the woman's father had sold the child because she was separated from her husband and he wanted to quickly arrange a second marriage for her. He had earlier allegedly tried to arrange an abortion but the hospital had refused. We acted upon the complaint of the mother, who alleged that her child was stolen from the nursing home in Ludhiana. After investigations, we found the grandfather of the child had struck a deal with a man in Delhi and had roped-in the nursing staff to smuggle the baby out of the nursing home. We have arrested four people including the grandfather. We have also booked the buyer from Delhi," Ishwar Singh, Ludhiana's Commissioner of Police told the Telegraph. "The child is in the hospital and will be handed over to the mother," he added.
