Salem: Following a recent tip-off, a doctor and a middleman were arrested on Friday for illegally determining the sex of a foetus at the Salem Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital.
Acting swiftly on the information, a team led by Salem District Joint Director (Medical Services), Dr. Nandhini, conducted a surprise raid on the hospital’s ultrasound scan room. During the operation, a doctor was caught disclosing the sex of the unborn child to a pregnant woman, a clear violation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act.
