A Delhi-based man, who used to sell medical kits allegedly for conceiving baby boy, was arrested in Gurgaon, police said today.
Sanjay Khatana, who used to attract the couples desiring to have a male child through a webportal and after obtaining request and money, he allegedly used to send the medical kit through courier to them, Haryana Health Secretary Rakesh Gupta said in a statement here.
He was running his office from Bristol Lawrence Road, Delhi and used to sell a kit for Rs 6,000, he said.
A decoy customer along with medical officer Dr Saryu called Khatana to Khandsa Road Gurgaon for delivering two kits for conceiving baby boy and he was given Rs 12,000.
Khatana described the procedure of taking medicine and assured that he had sold these kits to about 60-70 couples in Punjab and Haryana and had not received any complaint yet. Khatana said the success rate of medicine is almost 100 per cent.
A three-member team comprised Drug Control Officer Gurgaon Amandeep, Deputy Civil Surgeons Dr Saryu Sharma and Dr Vijay, nabbed the accused while he was accepting money for the kits.
A case has been registered under various sections of Pre Conception and Pre Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act against the accused, it said.
