Kamareddy: In a disturbing incident, a woman sold her five-year-old son for Rs 50,000 to buy an auto-rickshaw for her fiance. The matter came to light on Tuesday when child protection officials rescued the boy, Nikhil, and shifted him to a child care centre in Kamareddy.
According to officials, Busa Lavanya married Narsimloo six years ago and had two children. After Narsimloo’s death due to health complications last year, Lavanya began working at a cloth showroom in Kamareddy, where she came into contact with Chakali Sailoo of Parmalla village, Lingampet mandal. The two entered a live-in relationship, living together in Kamareddy for the past few months. Sailoo’s wife reportedly objected to the relationship and left home.
Both of them lost their jobs and started working as daily wage labourers. In an attempt to buy an auto for Sailoo, Lavanya allegedly sold her son Nikhil to Naseema of Parmalla village for Rs 50,000. Upon receiving information, child protection officials rushed to Lavanya’s house and rescued the child. Based on their complaint, Kamareddy police registered a case against Lavanya, Sailoo, Naseema, Shaheeda and Sekhar for the sale and purchase of the minor.
