The crackdown was based on a complaint by a distraught couple who discovered, through independent DNA testing, that the child born to a surrogate arranged by the clinic was not genetically related to them.
Hyderabad:An illegal surrogacy and sperm trafficking racket has been busted in Secunderabad - the twin city of Hyderabad, leading to the arrest of ten people, including a doctor. Dr Namrata is the manager of Universal Srushti Fertility Centre in Regimental Bazaar, which was raided by the Hyderabad Police.
The crackdown was based on a complaint by a distraught couple who discovered, through independent DNA testing, that the child born to a surrogate arranged by the clinic was not genetically related to them.
Hyderabad North Zone Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Rashmi Perumal said, "The operation allegedly involved luring poor people into surrogacy and the illicit inter-state transfer of reproductive materials".
The elaborate cheating racket came to light when a couple from Rajasthan, now residing in Secunderabad, lodged a formal complaint with the police. They had paid Rs 35 lakh to the clinic last year for a surrogacy procedure. However, upon the birth of the baby this year, their request for DNA verification of the surrogate mother was repeatedly delayed by Dr Namrata.
