Even more disturbing is that this is not an isolated case; it is part of a suspected child trafficking racket in a trail that leads all the way to Karnataka.
Along with the mother of the baby, the infant has been rescued from Karwar in Karnataka - eight others have been arrested.
Police said they suspect the involvement of doctors in the trafficking racket.
Matunga police had received a complaint from Pramila Pawar, 51, who claimed that her daughter-in-law, Manisha Yadav, 32, had sold her baby girl to some people in Bengaluru.
