Police on Saturday raided a fertility clinic, which they suspect was being run illegally, in posh Banjara Hills area of the city and rescued as many as 47 surrogate mothers confined in the two-floor building, an officer said on Sunday.
According to police, the owner of the centre was running the facility without any requisite permission.
“Following allegations of irregularities, the clinic was raided. The women in various stages of pregnancy were not allowed to go outside till delivery. There were around 47 surrogate mothers and most of them belong to Delhi, Hyderabad and other parts of the country,” Task Force (central zone) Inspector S.Srinivas Rao said.
