<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Sahara Samay T.V. news channel, in a series of
sting operations, showed doctors from Rajasthan, Gujarat, M.P. & U.P.
readily agreeing to do foetal sex detection and perform sex selective
termination of pregnancy. In most of the incidents, the doctors have also
violated the MTP Act by agreeing to abort foetuses beyond the stipulated time
period. So far sting operations of 100 (61 doctors are from Rajasthan) doctors
have been aired out of which most of the doctors had been caught violating the
PCPNDT and MTP Act. The Govt. of Rajasthan suspended some of erring govt.
doctors and sealed some of the private clinics and nursing homes. However, it
has not begun any prosecution activities by filing cases against them in the
court of law under PC&PNDT Act and unless this is being done no actual
punishment would be possible. <BR><BR>Soon after the sting operations were
shown, the strong doctors lobby of Rajasthan under the aegis of state IMA openly
issued statement against the journalist and the news channel. It demanded that
Govt. put ban on sting<BR>operations. One of the doctors has filed a case of
blackmail against the T.V.journalist.
