Doctors examined the infant and upon questioning, the transgender person gave evasive replies. The Doctors alerted the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). A preliminary police investigation revealed that the baby had been bought for ₹3 lakh from a couple in Andhra Pradesh with the help of a relative. The child has been sent to a shelter for safe custody.
