**Hyderabad Fertility Clinic Owner, Son Detained in Baby-Selling Probe**

**HYDERABAD, August 1, 2025** – The Nampally criminal court has granted the Gopalapuram police five days’ custody of Athaluri Namratha, owner of Universal Srushti Fertility Centre, and her son, Pachipala Jayanth Krishna, in connection with an ongoing investigation into a suspected baby-selling racket.

The two are considered key suspects in a widening investigation that began after a raid on an unlicensed facility, “Indian Sperm Tech,” near the Secunderabad East Metro Station on July 25th. The raid uncovered numerous alleged violations of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act, including the presence of 17 sperm donors and 11 egg donors, and extensive donor records, surrogacy applications, and payment logs. Officials also determined the facility lacked licensed medical staff and was operated by unqualified personnel.

“We will be questioning Namratha and Krishna extensively on the nature and scale of the operation, as well as the number of couples potentially defrauded under the guise of surrogacy,” stated a police spokesperson.

Authorities are currently investigating a possible connection between Universal Srushti Fertility Centre and the operations of “Indian Sperm Tech,” which was sealed following the initial raid. The case has raised serious concerns about illegal practices within the assisted reproductive technology sector. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
