A month on, the Mumbai Crime Branch has not been to find the parents of the infant girl who was rescued from an alleged racketeer involved in child trafficking. This is because of the court’s denial of main accused Julia Fernandes’s custody to the police.
The Special Juvenile Police Unit (SJPU) of the Mumbai Crime Branch`s Social Service division arrested Fernandes and her accomplice Shabana Shaikh on July 31 during an undercover operation.
