A man was allegedly forced to "sell" his three-year-old son to secure the release of his wife and newborn from a private hospital in Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh after being unable to pay the medical fees, officials reported. The incident caused widespread outrage and led to instant action by authorities. According to news agency PTI, the police on Saturday arrested 5 individuals, including a couple who had taken the child.
