Five people in the city of Ujjain, India, have been arrested in a case of forced surrogacy, rape and human trafficking after a 19-year-old woman was found unconscious at the Dewas Gate area in Madhya Pradesh. The woman had contracted an infection after giving birth via cesarean and only regained consciousness after five days of hospital treatment.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, told police she was sold by a human trafficker to a couple for the purpose of being forcibly impregnated. According to her statement, she was held against her will and repeatedly raped. When she became pregnant, the couple staged a fake pregnancy while secretly taking her in for regular medical check-ups to ensure the health of the developing foetus. After giving birth, the accused dumped her in the street in spite of her deteriorating health condition.
