Eluru SP Rahul Dev Sharma said the prime accused, Nagamani, came to know about the minor girl giving birth to a baby on June 7 and approached her family members in the guise of helping them. Stating that she could help the family personally and financially by giving the baby girl for adoption, Nagamani took the baby into her custody and informed the same to two Sarada and Vijaya Lakshmi. Through Vijaya Lakshmi, Nagamani sold the baby to a Guntur-based couple who were desperate to have a child. Taking advantage of their situation, Vijaya Lakshmi made a deal and sold the baby for Rs 2.8 lakh. A case has been registered against them, the SP said.
