She was caught on Friday based on a tip-off that she had bought a seven-day-old boy for Rs 20,000 and was going to sell him to a childless couple for Rs1.50 lakh.
On Saturday, the police presented the woman in court where she was remanded in police custody for a day. But the investigating officer told the court the woman has also been involved in selling children to NRI couples, which could turn into a child-trafficking racket.
