The raid at the hospital was conducted after coordinating with the Fatehgarh Sahib deputy commissioner and chief medical officer, Panchkula Deputy Commissioner Gauri Prashar Joshi said.
On a tip-off, a team from the Panchkula district administration sent a decoy customer, hailing from Haryana, to the hospital, she said.
The team then carried out a raid after the hospital staff conducted sex determination tests. They were caught red-handed with the amount paid by the decoy customer, the officer claimed in a release.
The officer said that Rs 10,000 and Rs 7,000 was recovered from a doctor and a tout, respectively. During the raid, the team also discovered that the clinic was not registered, she said.
A case was being registered against the doctor, a helper and two touts. Further investigation is underway, the officer added.
Notably, both Haryana and Punjab are infamous for their adverse sex ratio.
