Going Old School..Slumdog Dad Arrested trying to sell his Daughter!!

Who needs adoption papers when you have cold hard cash. This is just ridiculous are they serious it's 09 for good sake. Following an alleged attempt to sell his 9-year-old daughter, Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali, to a Dubai sheikh for nearly $200,000, Rafiq Qureshi has been arrested by Indian police. Rubina's mother Khurshida - who walked out on the family in 2001 - claimed she knew two weeks ago of the intended child-trade with a rich Dubai sheikh.

Khurshida branded Rafiq and his new wife Mina as "money-crazy" and desperate to cash-in on the nine-year-old's fame.

The sheikh who almost bought Rubina reportedly contacted Qureshi after learning of Slumdog's Oscar wins back in February. His wife was no longer able to have children and wanted to adopt Rubina as his own.

There is reportedly video of the undercover operation in which reporters met with Qureshi and expressed interest in illegally adopting the Slumdog star.

Qureshi is not budging from his claim that he refused the sheikh's generous offer for the young girl.
