Rachakonda: Pregnant constables in Telangana's Rachakonda are voluntarily posing as decoys to nab those indulging in prenatal sex determination.
Redefining the idea of strength and conviction, the 'SHE teams' are conducting the decoy operations in pursuance of central government's 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao', while they themselves carry a life inside them.
"Under this operation, when we get credible information, we arrange a decoy. Here, our women constables who are pregnant take part in this operation. Our pregnant women constables voluntarily act as probable customers in such scanning centres, and when they are about to pursue it, we trap them," said Shaikh Saleema, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, who is heading the SHE team.
"We have been able to generate a fear of law among people in urban as well as rural areas, that gender determination of foetus is unlawful and punishable," Saleema added.
The teams have successfully arrested nine qualified doctors from the zone, who have been indulging in such unlawful activities, and shut down six to seven multi-speciality hospitals.
