Adoption controversy: Telugu couple hands over Anupama's baby to Child Welfare team from Kerala

HYDERABAD: The Child Welfare team from Kerala has received Anupama's baby from the Telugu couple. The child was handed over to the officials from Kerala at the Child Welfare Committee office at the district headquarters in Andhra Pradesh.

The team from Kerala reached the district headquarters in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday evening. The couple, who adopted the baby, also reached the district headquarters by around 6 pm. The couple handed over the baby to the officials after holding talks for about an hour and a half.

The team, which comprises of a woman official from the CWC, three police officials, including a lady, is expected to return on Sunday along with the baby.

The CWC order to this effect came out early this week after Anupama--22 year old mother --sat on an indefinite protest before the Council since last Thursday, demanding the removal of the top office-bearers of the KSCCWC and CWC, who she alleged are behind handing over her baby to the adoptive parents.

Once the baby is brought to Thiruvananthapuram, it will be under the custody of the Kerala government and a DNA test will be conducted.
