Babies, some just 24 hours old, were bundled into biscuit cartons, allegedly by the staff at a nursing home in West Bengal and sent by road to a government hospital where they were sold, the police say.
Eight people including the owner of the private nursing home, a woman identified as Nazma Bibi, were arrested on Tuesday afternoon in Bhaduria in 24 Parganas, 85 km from the state capital of Kolkata.
