Midnapore, Oct 09: An eight-month-old girl child was sold off by her parents for just Rs 4,000 in West Bengal’s Midnapore district due to severe monetary crisis amid the continuing pandemic that hit the nation eight months back.

Police said a preliminary investigation suggested that the family was dealing with acute poverty during the Covid-19 outbreak that started livelihood opportunity crisis with repeated lockdowns since March.

During the interrogation, the parents admitted that it became really difficult for them to make both ends meet owing to almost no-income.
