Court denies Homeopathy doctor's bail plea accused of giving allopathy abortion pills to minor girl
Thiruvananthapuram: The Thiruvananthapuram Posco court has denied bail to a homoeopathic doctor accused of prescribing allopathy medicine to a minor girl for aborting her baby.
Single bench Judge M P Shibu rejected the bail of 62-year-old Prem Chand and also noticed that the doctor was practising allopathy medicine at a private clinic in Poonthura without any license.
In his verdict, the judge said the accused made this decision voluntarily and with full conscience, and that the offence was serious and unjustifiable.

TNIE reports that the Poonthura police marked Dr Chand as the second accused in the Posco Act case of the minor girl.
The incident took place when the minor girl went to the doctor with the first accused who allegedly impregnated her after finding out that she was pregnant. The doctor who was aware of the victim's age prescribed her allopathic medicine to abort her baby at his illegal clinic.
