In Punjab, a heartbreaking case shows how chitta addiction in Punjab is destroying families. In Mansa district, Gurman Kaur and Sandeep Singh sold their six-month-old baby for ₹1.8 lakh to buy drugs. Gurman, once a state-level athlete, fell into addiction after meeting Sandeep on Instagram. Together, they became dependent on synthetic drugs.
As their craving grew, they made the shocking choice to sell their infant. Police said the deal looked like a legal adoption but was actually an illegal money exchange. The incident has alarmed the community and raised concern about the deep social damage caused by chitta addiction in Punjab. Authorities have begun investigations and urged strong action against the drug network that traps people into such desperate acts.
Drug awareness and rehabilitation must become urgent priorities to save lives and families from this growing menace.
