Patna, Jan 15 (IANS) A man was arrested in Bihar's East Champaran district after he tried to sell his minor son to purchase liquor, police said Thursday.
The shocking incident took place at a rural market Wednesday when police arrested Prabhu Mahto after his wife lodged a complaint that her husband was trying to sell their eight-year-old son to buy liquor, district police official Lalit Vijay Tiwari said.
Tiwari said Mahto's wife Janki Devi, a resident of Kavalpur, traced her husband in the market where shopkeepers said he was bargaining to sell his son.
