Man arrested for sex determination attempt

New Delhi, June 26. Haryana Police have arrested a man after a doctor complained that he approached him with his pregnant wife and sought to determine the sex of the foetus and other manipulation to ensure a male child.

The accused who gave his name as Aryan, a resident of Delhi, has been booked under Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994,by  complainant Anurag Bishnoi.

Aryan sought Bishnoi’s services after learning about pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), a medical procedure meant for screening genetic diseases through which sex selection also has reportedly been attempted, Bishnoi said in his complaint.

“Many people demand the same verbally and we never had any proof. This man had all his research done and written on a paper. So we had proof this time. I asked him to wait and informed the police,” Bishnoi said.

While his clinic is not authorised to conduct PGD, Aryan’s intentions were clear and illegal, he said.

“The man did not have any reference of a doctor and he wanted PGD for (ensuring) a male child and not for getting a disease diagnosed,” he said.

“He also mentioned about Thailand where PGD is available,” Bishnoi said.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
