"My financial position is really bad," a distraught looking Rajitha (20) who could not afford the Rs 2,000 hospital fee said from her bed at the Government area hospital in Kothagudem in Khammam district.
She delivered the baby by Caesarean section last week and the infant changed hands within 24 hours.
Police said they would take action against the hospital which also faces an inquiry whether its doctors took any money as bribe from the woman.
"Buying and selling a baby is an offence, so we will be booking cases," Kothagudem revenue division officer P Rajaram said.
According to reports, a rickshaw driver friend gave the single mother Rs 6,000 for the baby, which he planned to bring up with his wife. The couple have no children.
The incident occurred in the parliamentary constituency of Union Minister of State for Women and Child development Renuka Chowdhury.
"At least, she is safe and at least the child is not dead and not killed. I think they are the most important things that we need to look at," Chowdhury said.
The woman told the police who interrogated her that her husband had abandoned her and she had no means to support herself and a baby.
"We are also inquiring into the fact whether the doctor had asked for money (from the woman)," he added.
Welfare officials reportedly want the baby to be reunited with his mother so she can breastfeed him. They said the mother and child would then be shifted to a state-run facility where Rajitha can decide if she wants to put the baby up for adoption.

Renauka ji, stop opening your big mouth. Translate your words with work. Lip service will not do the job. The pink chaddis are now hanging on your head. The pink chaddis will prove disaster for you.
ALMOST OF THE TIMES DR SHASHI BHASIN DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SHE RELIED ON STORIES TOLD TO HER BY HER SO CALLED SENIOR DOCTORS. WHEN I DID TRY TO BRING IT TO HER ATTENTION THE SO CALLED SENIOR DR WERE MAD . DR MAHESHWARI WAS ON CALL SHE DID NOT COME AND ASKED DR BINDAL TO COVER BUT DR BINDAL TOOK HER OWN SWEET TIME TO COME WHEN OPERATION WAS COMPLETED AND PATIENT WAS SHIFTED. BUT NOTHING HAPPENED ' THIS IS JUST A GIVT JOB ISNT IT ? WHO CARES . BUT DR BHASIN WAS ARGUING BINDAL COVERED FOR MAHESWARI. WHAT IS THE NEED TO COME WHEN OPERATION IS OVER? BUT THE NURSES STOOD UP WITH ME AND SPOKE UP . FOR ONCE DR BHASIN WAS ARGIUNG WITH NURSES AND FINALLY AGREED THAT SHE HAD BEEN IN THE WRONG AFTER GREAT RELUCTANCE. BY THAT TIME LIFE WAS TO DIFFICULT FOR ME SO I LEFT-. I AM SURE THINGS HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND GOVT HOSPITALS RUN AS USUAL AS THERE IS NO ONE TO MONITER THEM AND WE HAVE A LOT OF BHASINS , DRUEJA , BINDAL AND THE WHOLE TEAM .
Like Queen Mary Antoinette of France, Renuka says to the poor women of her constituency, "No food?, Go to a pub and drink to your glory. No clothes to wear? Approach the pink chaddi brigade which I have fostered, they will give you hundreds of chaddies. Why do you need a saree to cover your body? Pink chaddies are beautiful, they have won many international awards. See, I have a solution for all the problems of the poor women of our entire country; why talk about only my constituency, like the Talibani Sanghis, eh?
AGAIN, WHY BLAME THE WOMAN FOR WHAT SHE DID . THIS IS AT A GOVT HOSPITIAL. DOES IT SOUND STANGE? NOT TO ME WHO WORKED IN DDU, DELHI AND SAW THE PLIGHT OF POOR WOMEN. DR SHASHI BHASIN AND HER SO CALED TEAM OF SENIOR DOCTORS SHOUTED AND SCREAMED AT THESE WOMEN WHO WERE POOR AND MOSTLY UNEDUCATED AND MOST OF THE TIME DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF THEM OR WHAT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INVESTIGATIONS AND TESTS ORDERED OR EVEN DID NOT HAVE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO HAVE TESTS DONE . IF YOU STOOD OUTSIDE THE ANTENATAL WARD OF DDU YOU WOULD WONDER WHY THIS SHOUTING AND SCREAMING IS GOING ON RANI ... RANI..... PATIENTS WERE ASKED NOT TO BE ADMITTED BECAUSE DR SUSHMA DUREJA FELT THAT THEY WERE DOING WRONG DEEDS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH . EVERY DAY WAS A NEW STORY BUT RESIDENTS JUST WORKED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TRO INVITE TROUBLE . IF YOU SPOKE DR SHASHI BHASIN HAD A LOT OF STUFF TO SAY ' YOU HAVE TO LEAVE , WE DONT GET ANY BENIFET FROM YOU , SO AND SO WAS SAYING THIS THAT ABOUT YOU
The aim of the tali's is to stop women from progressing. The women in the taliland are kept captured in the kitchen for the rest of their lives. In India, we too have a similiar group whose aim is to take us back to stone ages instead of going further to modern ages with freedom for everyone. These guys have imposed themselves as if they are the rakhwalla's of our Hindu culture, and their idea is to impose taliland like laws on our sisters, mothers, wives, aunt's etc. so that they shoul not dance or enjoy their lives. Who the hell has given these jerks any right to impose such kinds of junglee laws on us? Do we moderns stop these rascals from sleeping with their wives= do we stop them from going to the toilet or eating food, the who the heck are these jerks to interfere in our private lives? Why don't the police and the courts take these kinds of junglee animal likes to task? , In a very tragic event, a women has sold her child for Rs.6000, but instead of helping this women....
thanks for every one comments below..i thought u al people will take this matter as a simple..bcos its not a big issue in forward culture..drink, make boyfriend or marry..make child and leave them..and go fro another...THANKS ..IF WE IMITATE FOREIGN CULTURE ..THEN ALSO FROM THE HEART WE ARE ALL STILL INDIAN..AND RESPECT INDIAN CULTURE
Renuka Ji gave a clarion call for Indian women to go to pubs, may be she thought she was talking about the real women of India. But, she was mistaken. She represented the mind of a handful women but ignored the real suffereings of the women. Now opposing the pub attackers is a different issue, which me and you every one can oppose, but then making it the only problem of Indian women was what Renuka Ji did. Now if attacking a women in pub is crime, then what it is to let a mother sell her child because of poverty. This is criminal negligence and the Minister must answer the nation because the mother happens to be from the constituency of the Minister.
On top of a tragic event, the tali like followers of the religious police are giving so pathatic comments. This shows the downgraded mentality of Ravan Sene. Their own aim is to behavi like Ravan, but they want their wife, sisters or mothers to behave like Sita. Pathatic thy name is VHP, Ravan Sene or Bajrag dal and even Al-Qaida.
RENUKA JI BETTER TO START PET BHARO ANDOLAAN NOW INSTEAD OF YOUR EARLIER STUPID PUB BHARO ANDOLAAN ARE YOU LISTENING.
It can only happen in Renukan's Talibanised Contituency where she encourages Women to be single mothers and sale of children. Probably she forgot to give her condoms. And Judges still will give custody of the child only to a mother!!
Pub culture could produce more such children in another way ! so it does not help Social welfare, or rather destroy it. Moreover, why did this poor women not get any support? Hopefully the Minister will have some positive comments and action at least for this matter; let us all wait.
Long live pink chaddis and pub campaigner for the support of selling babies..I think more than her work she does all other work perfectly.. I think interms of minister, she is doing good business in her constituency...
We dont expect much from Congress leaders as they are busy toeing the Gandhi family. First the family will tell what to do then only things will move if at all.?? Renuka may God bless. Let her not worry about some incident i Mangalore try n do something in your home state at least.
Renuka is busy campaigning for pink chaddis.. she has forgotten she is a minister for welfare of poor people like this Andhra woman.. Renuka, will you forget your pink chaddi and pub fascination for some time and do your job? Or, get out of the way, so that parties who are bothered about Indian culture, rather than pub and pink chaddi culture can take over...
This all is happening because we are copying Western culture for every thing. If I am not mistaken Hospitals are free for Poor, so why the bill. This is shame that economically we may have made a little head way but Culturally we are going backwards. If this trend continues,soon we will be a broken nation too. Renuka, see what is happening right under your nose, or may be you know how to play politics only. May God Bless India ! !
What has the pink chaddi brigade to say to this? Nothing , only hide in shame behind their pink chaddis perhaps
Renuka this comes directly under your responsibilty.And you irresponsible women were going for Pub bharo and pink jhaddi combines.Shame on you holding women and child welfare welfare when such things are happening in your own constituancy,and the excuse you uttered are worst.
Propably she might understand why is there a need for Hindu Talibans now.
Renuka first do your minimal duties, it is fate of this country that your kind of people are holding such roles at national level. A woman who is not taking care of her house, how she can take care of nation. Shame on this.
This incident of Andhra Pradesh will even put the poor African nations to shame. Since this has happened in the Constituency of Renuka Ji, she has to answer the nation as to what is her Model of development?? If she is bent on making A.P another Africa then its fine but if she is interested she should visit Gujarat to understand the Gujarat model.
