Indian doctor arrested after foetuses found in Gujarat

India banned gender selection and selective abortion in 1994
Police in the western Indian state of Gujarat have arrested a doctor after 14 human foetuses were found in rubbish.

The gynaecologist owned a clinic in the city of Ahmedabad where abortions were conducted over more than two decades.

Police say he has admitted dumping the foetuses after they were damaged while he moved his clinic to a new building.

The doctor maintains the foetuses were legally aborted and did not follow illegal sex determination tests. The bodies have been sent for post-mortems.

Authorities said on Monday they suspected the foetuses may have been aborted because they were girls rather than boys, who have traditionally been favoured in India.

'Public nuisance'

The doctor told police and public health officials that the foetuses were of babies legally aborted due to congenital abnormalities, and that they had been preserved in his clinic for about six years, the BBC's Rathin Das reports from Ahmedabad.

Police say they have charged the doctor with causing a public nuisance by not properly disposing of bio-medical waste, our correspondent reports.

Authorities say they are waiting for the post-mortem results to find out whether the doctor is telling the truth.

The foetuses were found in the east of the city on Monday morning. Some were in broken jars.

Female foeticide has led to an unbalanced sex ratio in many northern districts of Gujarat, and in other states in India.

Ante-natal tests to determine the sex of babies is banned in India but the practice carries on despite the law.

It is thought millions of female foetuses may have been aborted in India over the past 20 years.

The doctor need capital punishment as an example, along with parents.
This is not good for India. We can not descriminate on gender basis.

Kindly remove the words 'Medieval Ritual' from the thread title, and replace it with 'female feticide'.

According to indian authorities they suspected the foetuses may have been aborted because they were girls rather than boys.

And killing child because they are girls was a medieval ritual. Burning people alive was medieval ritual, human scrifice was stone age ritual, worse than medieval one. All are happening in india in this day an age and posted in this forum). Society that still that go as far as of killing foetuses because of its girl and not boy says lot about brand india propagated world over.

their license should be cancelled man...

 

[amoverlord]

in the above case may be the doctor is guilty or may be not.......but its a fact that some doctors n parents perform gender determination of fetus(during ultrasonography it is also visible),although its illegal...n termination of pregnancy is performed based on female fetus.......this incidents r more prevalent in north india......
there should be more strict rules to prevent such incidents......underlying cause is illiteracy n society.....some fools still think that a girl child is more of a burden(huge dowry to be given in there marriages,even though giving n taking dowry is also illegal)....anyway india is moving forward n i hope such social malpractices will disappear in the coming decades.....

If its a ritual . whys is it in the news?? why police has catched him??

So you are keen on establishing that society accepts this due to your hatred towards India for whatever reason??/

According to indian authorities they suspected the foetuses may have been aborted because they were girls rather than boys.

Which is called female feticide.

And killing child because they are girls was a medieval ritual.

The word 'Ritual' has religious connotations. There is nothing in this news story supporting that argument.

Burning people alive was medieval ritual, human scrifice was stone age ritual, worse than medieval one.

See, religion/faith was involved in all of the above activities.

Society that still that go as far as of killing foetuses because of its girl and not boy says lot about brand india propagated world over.

Of course I'll condemn the activity of sex selection. This is a problem in our mindsets and steps are being taken to change this mindset.

And did you know determination of the sex of an unborn child is a punishable offense in India?

Chopping off someones head and hands is a medival ritual.

Chopping off someones head and hands is a medival ritual.

How many times it needs to be told its just like any cold blooded murder incident ,nothing more.only difference was killing the victim in a different manner.

Nice to note such modest attitude. We wish that before India steps into the attire of a 'Super Power', she takes care first her faults towards own population (including dalits & naxalites) and neighboring populations, too (like refraining from install puppet Govts./interferring in others' internal states of affairs/killing bordering civilians too often/allowing drug industries close to borders, if any.

PS 1: I mentioned 'if any' only to avoid possible burden of requests to provide 'court-like' evidences. As for web links, there have been too many mentioned in relevant regards already---even in this forum.

LONG LIVE INDIA
(with exactly its current boundary)
WITH ITS BOYS & GIRLS TOO, INCLUDING (possible)
HAPPY REINSTATED DALITS &
REFORMED NAXALITES
ALONG WITH
ALL (externally un-meddled) POPULATIONS OF (hopefully mutually loving)SMALLER NEIGHBORS.

PS 2: Pardon me for keeping (the respected super power) China outside the purview of this wish. However, it is advised to take great care prior to any mis-adventure towards them.
