A poverty-hit Odisha tribal woman, who was saddened by the birth of a second girl child, allegedly sold her eight-month-old daughter to a couple for a measly Rs 800, police said.

The Supreme Court has granted bail to a tribal woman accused of human trafficking on the ground that despite a lapse of almost two years her trial has not commenced and said she cannot be kept in confinement indefinitely.
