Poor woman sells child for Rs 21 in Bihar

A three-day-old baby was sold by her starving mother for a mere Rs 21, the money that was for the starving mother, the difference between life and death.

The infant's biological mother, a young widow from Lalganj in Bihar's Vaishali district could feed neither herself nor her daughter.

So, she sold her baby to the childless labourer couple from Bishunpur village in Muzaffarpur district.

She handed over the baby, attested a piece of paper and disappeared.

"Someone told me that Rita was leaving her child on streets. Tthen I borrowed Rs 21 from Mahadev and bought the baby from her," said Rajkumari Devi, foster mother.

Village supports

The baby's foster mother has the support of her village.

"The lady who has bought the child has not committed any sin. In fact, she has saved the child's life," said Satyanarayan Prasad, villager, Bishunpursaraiya.

But news of the transaction reached the police and they are now investigating and trying to trace the missing mother.

"This matter will be verified and a detailed enquiry will be conducted. Then I will see what can be done," said Gupteshwar Pandey, DIG, Muzaffarpur, Tirhut Range.

The little girl doesn't have a name yet but she already has a story, a story that begins with helplessness, poverty and desperation.

Whoever the culprits in the case lets hope that for the girl the story has a happy ending.
