"In the district hospital, we were told to get blood for her. They told me that she will not survive if blood is not arranged for her. I didn't have money. So, I had no other option, but to sell my child," said Arvind, as quoted by ANI. "It's not easy to sell a child, but we had no other option. We had already visited few hospitals for treatment," Sukhdevi added
