Police crack down on illegal clinic involved in newborn trafficking in Patoki.
Patoki: Police have uncovered a shocking case of illegal baby sales at a clinic in Sheikhum village, Patoki, where newborns from unmarried women were reportedly delivered and sold unlawfully.
Authorities said the so-called doctor and clinic staff operated the facility purely for financial gain, conducting unauthorized deliveries of women outside marriage. Just two days ago, the clinic allegedly sold another newborn for 48,000 PKR, according to police sources.
Tragically, due to negligence on the part of the hospital staff and the accused buyer identified as Zafar, the infant did not survive. Police emphasized that the child’s death highlights the dangerous and illicit practices carried out at the clinic.
In response, Patoki police acted promptly, sealing the clinic and taking several staff members and individuals involved into custody. Thana Sarai Mughal police have registered a formal case and launched an investigation to prosecute all responsible parties.
Officials warned that illegal medical practices and child trafficking are serious crimes with severe legal consequences. They assured the public that further steps will be taken to prevent such incidents in the region and urged citizens to report suspicious clinics or activities immediately.
The incident has sparked outrage in the local community, raising questions about the monitoring of private healthcare facilities and the enforcement of child protection laws. Authorities have vowed strict action against anyone found involved in similar illegal operations.
