Speaking to , DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal said, "A two and a half-month-old girl was rescued by DCW along with Delhi Police. Being the third daughter, the father sold her for Rs 40,000. This girl has been sold four times."
"Five people were arrested, out of which four are human traffickers. I appeal to Delhi Police to get to the bottom of this case as this is not the only child who was being trafficked. I think there is a huge human trafficking racket which should be busted," Maliwal added.
