Kolhapur: In a raid, a Kolhapur-based doctor has been detained on Wednesday by the police suspecting his involvement in illegal sex determination and abortions at a private hospital in Ichalkaranji.
As per a recent media report in Times of India, this came after the police and public health authorities conducted a sting operation with the help of a pregnant woman and raided the private hospital in Ichalkaranji. Following the sting operation, it came to light that the doctor carried out the sex determination procedure and informed the woman that she is expecting a girl, added the daily.
The accused has been identified as a doctor who was earlier booked in 2009 under the charges of illegal sex determination. However, he was then released by the local court as there was not enough evidence against him. In the recent past, police once again started receiving complaints claiming that the hospital is conducting illegal sex determination and even abortion in exchange for money.
