Two men have been arrested for carrying out sex determination tests in Pune — a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. They were caught red-handed inside a car along with the doctors who were carrying portable machines for the test.
All of them have been booked under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994. This is the first time in India that husbands of pregnant women have been booked under the Act as earlier only doctors had to face the consequences of conducting the prenatal sex determination test, which is banned in India.
The husbands, Vilas Dange and Popat Chavan, were caught during a regular police patrol at a road in Indapur, a city and a municipal council in Pune. It was found that their wives, Sunita Vilas Dange and Balika Popat Chavan, were undergoing tests to determine the gender of their unborn children, inside the car. Dr Hanumant More and Dr Tushar Gade, the two doctors performing the test, were also held.
"We noticed that Gade (from Mhaswad, Satara) and More (from Malshiraj, Solapur), both of whom held Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) degrees, were performing a sonography on two women who already had female children.
