A joint operation by the Police and Health department officials has helped in finding the remains of three foetuses in a farmhouse of a man masquerading as a doctor in Tigadoli near Kittur in Belagavi district on Sunday.
The team of officials began exhuming the ground around the farmhouse of Abdulgafar Hussainsaab Ladkhan, a quack from Hanchinal village.
Ladkhan ran a clinic in Kittur where he performed illegal abortions and female foeticide. The police suspected that he is also involved in sale of infants.
