In a different incident in India, a hospital purchased a newborn baby boy from a poverty-stricken Dalit couple after they were unable to pay medical bills amounting to Rs 35,000.
According to the details, Babita, 36, gave birth to a baby boy through surgery at a hospital in Agra. The medical expenses, including the operation and medicines, amounted to Rs 35,000. However, her husband, Shiva Charan, 45, a rickshaw puller, couldn’t afford to pay the bills.
The couple stated that they informed the hospital about their financial situation, but the administration allegedly coerced them into selling their baby for Rs 1 lakh to settle the bill.
