A poverty stricken mother sold her four-month old baby for a paltry sum of Rs 64 (about Dh4) to a couple from Nepal.
Belonging to an extremely poor section of the society in the Indian state of Bihar, the woman who was in her 30s was struggling for survival, police officials revealed to Indian television channel NDTV.
The woman also has other children. She apparently moved from the place where she was staying with her children. Before moving away she told her neighbours that she gave the child away for his own good. But her daughter told them that she had sold her baby for Rs62.
However, the woman maintained that she did not gain anything from the transaction but in fact had 'donated' her baby.
