According to authorities, the group identified included G. Sugumar (67), V. Manikandan (45), S. Kavitha (40), R. Ilavarasi (35) and C. Kanaga (53).The suspects are accused of conducting illegal prenatal sex determination tests, primarily targeting expectant mothers. When tests revealed female fetuses, the group allegedly facilitated illegal abortions. C. Kanaga, a nurse from Salem, is suspected of performing the sex determination tests.
“We received credible information about this operation and acted swiftly,” said a police spokesperson. “Our initial investigation suggests this group was preying on vulnerable women and flouting the law.”
The investigation revealed that two pregnant women, aged 31 and 23, were taken to Salem where Nurse Kanaga conducted illegal sex determination tests, and both were found to be carrying female fetuses. The suspects then took them to Kavitha’s residence.
During a raid on a residence in Tirupattur, police rescued two pregnant women who had allegedly sought the group’s services after learning the sex of their unborn children. The women, already mothers of two, were admitted to the Government Taluk Hospital in Tirupattur.
