Three individuals have been arrested in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu for allegedly conducting prenatal sex determination tests, violating the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act. The accused were caught red-handed while conducting the illegal tests at a private clinic. The arrests were made following a tip-off received by the authorities. The PCPNDT Act prohibits the determination and disclosure of the sex of the fetus during pregnancy, as it often leads to female feticide, a practice that is prevalent in some parts of India. The three individuals were booked under relevant sections of the PCPNDT Act and produced before a local court. The authorities have also seized equipment used for conducting the tests. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges in eradicating the deep-rooted issue of gender-based discrimination in the country. The law enforcement agencies are working rigorously to crack down on such illegal practices and ensure that strict action is taken against those involved. The case is currently under investigation, and further details are awaited.
