Surrogacy as cover for trading in babies

Ahmedabad/Ujjwala Nayudu (Indian Express) : The uncovering of what appears to be baby trading has blurred the line between such rackets and surrogacy, amid signs that the woman not only sold off at least one child but has also struck a deal for one she is expecting.
Manjula, or Mona Thakor, admits she was paid for a baby by a Ahmedabad gynaecologist who routed it to a couple. The crime branch has found she is pregnant once again and has registered with another doctor to deliver the baby as a surrogate.
The police case is against gynaecologist Bharat Atit, nurse Niru Rathi and Thakor’s boyfriend Rajkumar Jadav. It is not yet clear whether the baby’s father is Rajkumar or the woman’s former husband, with whom she had renewed her relationship.
