Health and revenue department officials, including women officers, successfully dismantled an alleged sex determination and foeticide racket operating along the Maharashtra border through a carefully planned undercover operation.

During the operation, an alleged agent provided crucial information about the network's operations. The team, comprising officers from Jamkhandi, Rabakavi-Banahatti, and Bengaluru, posed as a family seeking the service. They were led to a farmhouse where a payment was made for the test.

Upon arrival, authorities raided the premises, seizing the scanning machine and other equipment. The suspected kingpin remains at large, while several individuals have been named in a registered case.
