She delivered the baby to the district hospital on August 19. Renuka told Kasturi, a nurse about her financial problems at her home. Kasturi advised her that there are people ready to buy the child if she was not ready to take care of the baby. On August 26, Renuka gave the baby to Kasturi’s husband Manjunath and received Rs.5000.

A few days later she regretted the decision and decided to get the baby back. She went to the district hospital and asked the nurse to return her baby.
