Sometimes the ignoble acts you pull off tarnish the image of great personalities known for their immense contribution to the world. Mother Teresa is one such personality and a woman working at the Mother Teresa Missionaries of Charity in the Jharkhand state of India has been arrested for trying to sell a 14-day old baby. Two more employees have been detained and are being interrogated.

Police have already taken action after the states Child Welfare Committee registered a complaint. “We have found out that some other babies have also been illegally sold from the centre,” a police official said. “We have obtained the names of the mothers of these babies and are further investigating.”
Nirmal Hriday in Ranchi works as shelter home for unwed mothers. The mother of the boy, who was sold, had taken shelter at Nirmal Hriday in March. The boy was born in Ranchi’s Sadar Hospital on May 1.
It appears that a surprise check by the Child Welfare Committee unnerved the accused who allegedly sold the infant to the UP couple. A few days after the surprise check, she called the UP couple to come back to complete formalities. The Child Welfare Committee officials had seized some documents from Nirmal Hriday during its surprise check.
The boy is currently in the custody of Child Welfare Committee. Rupa Verma, the complainant, claimed that a baby-selling racket has been operating from the shelter home for some time. The charity has not responded to the allegations
