In a shocking incident, a man from Morigaon district in Assam sold his two-and-a-half-year-old son for Rs 40,000 to buy drugs illegally. Rukmina Begum was married to Aminul Islam and had a 2 and a half year old son. A few months back Rukmina had a fight with Aminul as he was involved in drug peddling. After the fight she left her husband’s house with the son and started staying in her parents house.  A few days ago, Aminul had visited Rukmina. He took the child to his house on the pretext of getting an Aadhaar card for him. However, Aminul neither returned nor sent their son back to Rukmina even after three days.  Following this Rukmina Begum had filed a complaint against her husband Aminul, alleging that he had sold their kid to buy illegal drugs. The police then launched a search to arrest Aminul. Reportedly, Aminul had sold his kid to a person named Sazida Begum for Rs.40,000. He wanted the money to buy drugs illegally.  The police in Assam have now arrested Aminul and Sazida. They have even rescued the child from Sazida and handed him over to the mother.  Aminul was allegedly involved in consuming and peddling drugs for the last three years and some other illegal activities, including running a sex racket. 

Drugs have been a serious issue in Assam. Since becoming the CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has taken strict action against it. Drugs worth 163 crore were seized and destroyed. Nearly 900 cases related to drug dealing have been registered and nearly 2,000 people have been arrested till date.
