Terming 'female infanticide' as a deeply disturbing issue, the Punjab and Haryana High Court recently dismissed a plea filed by a doctor from Haryana's Hisar seeking the concession of anticipatory bail in a case booked against him under the provisions of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act and IPC.
As per the Tribune report, Justice Kaul asserted the petitioner was facing serious allegations of operating a widespread illegal sex determination racket in the states of Punjab and Haryana using a portable ultrasound machine in undisclosed locations. Customers were allegedly blindfolded before being taken to the locations to avoid detection. The petitioner was also involved in seven other criminal cases, five of which involved similar offences under the PCPNDT Act.
