West Bengal woman sells her son for husband's treatment | Oneindia News

In a shocking incident, West Bengal woman sold her 11-day-old son to a couple for 5,000 for the treatment of her husband at Rangia Tilla of Haldia ADC village in West Tripura. The tribal woman and her daily wage labourer husband took the decision to sell their infant as no help came for them from the government authorities, in spite of their repeated requests. The husband of the woman said that he was unwell for several days.This is the third such case-- where poor parents were forced to sell their children--in two years reported from Tripura. After the case came to light, authorities took the child to a state-run home. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party has slammed the ruling Left government for the large-scale presence of poverty and government negligence in the state. Reports say the BJP is likely to use the case as a poll issue in the forthcoming assembly elections in the state, due in a few months from now.
