The police have seized the sonography machine and booked the accused under the PCPNDT Act. Pre-natal sex determination is a crime.

The police team and PCPNDT cell received a tip-off and launched decoy operation. The team caught Dr. Rajesh Kumar red-handed while performing prenatal sex determination of a woman at Janana hospital in Chomu.
As per preliminary reports, on the insistence of the PCPNDT cell the family members approached the doctor and told him that they wanted to know the sex of the child, whether it was a girl or a boy, so they bribed Dr. Rajesh to conduct the pre-natal sex determination.
