Vigilance stepped up in Mandya and Mysuru following police investigation on female foeticide racket

The district administrations in Mandya and Mysuru have stepped up their vigilance following police investigations that unravelled a prenatal sex determination and female foeticide racket rampant across Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru districts.

The Mysuru Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra told media persons in Mysuru on November 28 that a team comprising officials from the police, health, urban local body and AYUSH will be constituted to conduct spot inspection of the places which surfaced in the police investigation.  

The District Health Officer has already submitted a report on the centre which was allegedly used for scanning but it has transpired that there was no activity in the premises since the last few months nor was there a board. Besides, the centre was not registered under the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment Act, he said.
