Three persons including the parents of a six day-old infant were arrested by the Chilaw Police today for attempting to sell the infant, Police said.

The parents of the infant had initially given the child to a married couple in Kalpitiya to adopt, after the parents had decided that they had no means to nourish the infant.

However, the original father had later demanded money from the couple, who refused to pay the biological father any cash for the child.
The biological father had then made a police complaint last Saturday alleging that the infant was robbed.

Upon further investigation the Police had discovered that the complaint was a false one, and taken in the two biological parents and another person alleged to have facilitated the process. ( H.F)
