Mother Teresa centres probed after ‘baby sale’

Charitable shelters: Mother Teresa INDIA has ordered inspections of centres run by Mother Teresa’s charity after the arrest of a nun and worker at one of its shelters for unwed mothers for allegedly selling a baby.

The arrest early this month followed a complaint by an Indian couple that they paid 120,000 rupees to Anima Indwar, who worked at the shelter run by the Missionaries of Charity in Ranchi. Police said they’re investigating three other complaints.

A government statement said states have been asked to have child care homes run by Missionaries of Charity inspected.

Spokeswoman Sunita Kumar declined to comment, but earlier said the Missionaries of Charity was investigating the allegations.
