LAHORE: A woman in Jhelum on Wednesday alleged that his indebted and unemployed husband sold their newborn son in return for Rs5,000.

The infant’s mother, in a complaint made to the Jhelum District Police Officer (DPO) on Wednesday, said that she was referred to a hospital in Rawalpindi after her condition deteriorated following giving birth to a boy at Jhelum’s local hospital.

However, by the time she returned from Rawalpindi, the woman claimed that her husband, Zubair Akhtar, told her that he had sold the newborn to his sister’s landlord in return for Rs5,000, adding he started fighting after she demanded the child back.

The husband left the home after that, the wife added.

The DPO has directed the Civil Line police station’s station house officer to take immediate action and recover the child.
