Udupi Doctor Arrested in Child Trafficking Case Alongside Accomplice

In a significant crackdown on child trafficking, the Karnataka Police on Sunday arrested Dr. Sanjay Kumar, a Udupi‑based medical practitioner, and his accomplice, following a nationwide operation to dismantle illegal child transport rings.

The doctor is accused of facilitating the movement of minors across state borders, using his clinic as a front to conceal their identities. Earlier this year, Udupi district authorities have been actively pursuing complaints linked to child migrant exploitation, prompting heightened vigilance among local institutions.

The arrests aim to disrupt a network that reportedly trafficked dozens of children to urban hubs. Legal proceedings will determine the charges, with prosecutors citing evidence from surveillance and seized documents. Source: Google News – Udupi.
