Union home ministry on Tuesday sought a report from Delhi Police on baby Falak, terming it as a case of human trafficking.

Falak's case came to light late last month after the two-year-old girl was admitted to AIIMS by a teenaged girl, who herself was a victim of a prostitution racket. The teenager was handed over Falak by her boyfriend.

Immediately after Falak's admission, doctors conducted a life saving surgery on her brain and another two were undertaken at a later date. Doctors said that she needs to undergo more such surgeries but they have been put on hold as infection level in her blood has not receded.

The forensic department has conducted a DNA test to help determine her paternity. Experts have confirmed that the bite marks found on her body are that of a human, Dr Agarwal said.

The infection in her blood is being monitored closely.
