Nearly a week after the Kalyan police arrested a doctor for allegedly running an adoption racket and rescued 71 kids, the cops have reunited 14 babies with their parents. The alleged crime came to light after a couple filed a complaint against Dr Ketan Soni accusing him of taking away their baby for Rs 1 lakh. The police are trying to trace the parents of the other rescued children.
On November 27, the Bazarpeth police raided the Nandadeep Foundation, which runs a children’s shelter, at Tilak Chowk and rescued 71 children. They also arrested its president Dr Ketan Soni on the charge of running an illegal adoption centre.
