Police in India have arrested a woman working at Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity for allegedly selling a baby.

The move comes after India’s Child Welfare Committee (CWC) registered a complaint to police. Officials believe a 14-day-old child was illegally sold.

Two other female employees from the centre have also been detained and are being questioned about other possible cases.

Police also recovered 140,000 rupees ($2,150; £1,625) from the centre, which is located in Jharkhand's capital, Ranchi.
