RANCHI: Police on Sunday traced and found the fourth baby allegedly sold off by the staff and a nun of Nirmal Hriday , a shelter home run by the Missionaries of Charity (MoC).

Ranchi SSP Anish Gupta said, “This was the last of the four children which the staff of Nirmal Hriday, Anima Indwar, confessed to selling.”

He added, “The couple who bought the baby belong to Chhatarpur area of Palamu and were living in Chutia area of Ranchi, from where we found the baby.”

Anima Indwar had confessed to selling four babies of whom three were found earlier. A UP-based couple who had bought an infant brought the entire case to limelight. The other two children were found from Morhabadi and Kokar.
