Three individuals have been arrested in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu for allegedly conducting prenatal sex determination tests, which is illegal in India. The arrests were made following a tip-off received by authorities about the illegal activities taking place in the area. Prenatal sex determination is a serious offense under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, as it can lead to sex-selective abortions and contribute to the skewed gender ratio in the country. The accused individuals were reportedly conducting these tests in secret, charging exorbitant fees from expectant parents. The authorities have seized various equipment used for conducting the tests and have launched an investigation into the matter. Sex determination tests are banned in India to prevent gender-based discrimination and ensure gender equality. The police are cracking down on such illegal activities to curb the practice and uphold the law. The individuals involved in conducting these tests face severe penalties, including imprisonment and hefty fines. The public is urged to report any such illegal activities to the authorities to help prevent gender discrimination and promote a more balanced gender ratio in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
