Udupi Doctor Among Two Arrested in Child Trafficking Case

In a crackdown on illegal child movement, authorities arrested a Udupi-based medical practitioner and an accomplice. The pair allegedly used the doctor’s clinic as a front to ferry underage children to other districts.

Investigators claim the duo planned to sell the children or exploit them for labour, while their involvement skews public trust in the local medical profession. The doctor’s credentials were reportedly used to mask the illicit operations.

The arrest raises concerns about the misuse of medical access for criminal activities and underscores the need for stricter oversight of healthcare workers. Source: Google News – Udupi.
