Mysuru Sex Determination Ring Busted in Undercover Operation

Bengaluru, October 23, 2025 – Authorities have dismantled an illegal sex determination and sex-selective abortion ring operating in the Mysuru district of Karnataka. A successful decoy operation, conducted by the State Appropriate Authority under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, led to the unearthing of the clandestine operation in Hunuganahalli Hundi, Bannur taluk, on Wednesday, October 22nd.

According to Vivek Dorai, State PCPNDT Nodal Officer, the operation began with a sting at Mellahalli Circle, where money was exchanged, and pregnant women were subsequently transported to a house in Hunuganahalli. The joint team, comprised of officials from the State and District Appropriate Authorities and Monitoring Committees, raided the premises and discovered three pregnant women, including a decoy, waiting for sex determination procedures.

Inside the house, officials found medical equipment and materials used for pregnancy-related procedures, including IV fluids, injections, pregnancy test kits, medical records, and a computer system. Documents suggested a wider network of involved individuals and pregnant women.

“The operation has exposed a serious violation of the PCPNDT and MTP Acts,” stated Dr. Dorai. “A thorough investigation will be conducted, and appropriate legal action will follow.”

A police complaint has been filed, and an FIR has been registered. The District Appropriate Authority will initiate legal proceedings against all those involved. The authorities are continuing to investigate the extent of the network and those connected to the illegal operation.
