The Kolkata CID has recovered skeletons and bones of infants from the compound of an NGO, in yet another instance of newborn trafficking, on Friday morning. CID officials raided the Sujit Dutta Memorial Welfare Trust, an NGO in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, which facilitated the selling of newborns. They were led to the NGO by the prime accused in the trafficking case, Utpala Byapari.
