Gurugram Health Department Busts Illegal Fetal Sex Determination Racket in UP
The Gurugram health department, in coordination with Bijnor authorities, busted an illegal interstate fetal sex determination racket operating in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district. Acting on a tip-off, officials used a pregnant woman as a decoy to expose the operation, arresting a female mediator named Renu and an unqualified ultrasound operator. The racket involved transporting pregnant women from Gurugram to Bijnor for illegal ultrasounds, charging between Rs 25,000 and Rs 40,000. Both accused were handed over to police for legal action under the PCPNDT Act.
