Indian police have dismantled a cross-state child trafficking network after arresting its alleged kingpin in Telangana (a southern Indian state) following the abduction of a four-year-old boy in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. The group, known as the "Murugan Gang", is accused of trafficking and selling newborn babies sourced from Gujarat, Delhi, Telangana, and Maharashtra. Authorities have so far confirmed the abduction and sale of at least five children, with the gang reportedly trading infants at high prices across state lines.
