Pakistan: 'Dead-baby-swap gang' arrested in Peshawar
12 August 2016 Asia
Pakistani police have arrested several hospital workers over a scheme that sold newborn babies in Peshawar.
The gang swapped newborn babies with the bodies of dead infants in hospitals and maternity homes, and told their parents the child had died, police told the BBC.
The babies were then sold to childless couples for between 70,000-300,000 rupees (£500-2,200; $650-$2,850).
