Bodo Muslim Babies Swapped

Two couples, whose babies were accidentally swapped soon after birth over two years ago, have submitted affidavits in a local court to keep the child they have been raising, and sought that the matter be settled.

Two children born in 2015, one to a Bodo family and the other to a Muslim family in Assam's Darrang district, got swapped in hospital soon after birth. Three years later -- after a lot of effort, consultations and DNA tests -- both families agreed to exchange the babies. But then something else happened.
