The Punjab Health and Family Welfare Department has busted three illegal sex determination rackets in Kharar, Dera Bassi and Moga.

Health Minister Balbir Singh said acting on a tip-off, health teams from Ludhiana and Barnala planned a special operation. “Our health teams, along with the police teams, took a pregnant woman as a decoy customer to these centres and caught the culprits red-handed while conducting sex determination tests,” he said.

Balbir Singh said that in Dera Bassi, a quack had also been apprehended, who used to lure people with the promise of a male child by giving some special medicine.
