Jharkhand child sale racket: Police say 3 of 4 kids rescued

RANCHI: Three of the four children allegedly sold by Nirmal Hriday, a shelter home run by the Mother Teresa-founded Missionaries of Charity, were rescued by the police on Saturday.
"Three out of four children have been rescued. Both the nuns have been taken into custody. Further investigation is underway," said Ashish Gupta, SSP Ranchi.
In a video shared by news agency ANI, one of the nuns can be seen confessing to her crime and adding that two more kids were sold by her.

The third of the four children allegedly "sold" by the shelter home, who was rescued by the police from Simdega on Wednesday, was handed over to his adoptive parents.
Sister Konsalia and Anima Indwar, arrested in connection with the alleged "sale" of babies by Nirmal Hriday, were sent to a four-day police custody by a local court on Friday.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Shwaymbhu sent the two to police custody.
Sister Konsalia was arrested on July 5 for allegedly "selling" a child born to a minor inmate of the home to a couple from Uttar Pradesh.
Indwar was arrested on July 4. Both of them were in judicial custody. (With inputs from ANI)
