Baripada: Khunta police in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district have arrested four persons, including the mother who allegedly sold her infant girl for Rs 800.

Heartbroken, he lodged a complaint at Khunta police station.
Besides the mother, police also arrested the mediator and the couple who bought the baby, which was then handed over to the father.
