Case registered against doctor and ASHA worker in Aligarh over alleged forced abortion

In Aligarh's Mahuakheda area, a woman has accused a doctor and an ASHA worker of deceiving her regarding her pregnancy. The victim alleges she was given medication after being told she was carrying a girl, which led to an abortion. It was later discovered the fetus was a boy. Police have filed a case and initiated an investigation into the matter.

A disturbing incident has emerged in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, where a case involving fraud and abortion has been filed in the Mahuakheda police station area. According to local reports, a woman who was four months pregnant was taken to a doctor by an ASHA worker.

It is alleged that the accused convinced the woman that she was carrying a female child. Based on this claim, she was provided with medication, which subsequently resulted in the termination of her pregnancy. The incident has caused significant concern in the local community.

Following the procedure, it was revealed that the fetus was actually male. Upon discovering this, the victim's family sought legal intervention against the doctor and the healthcare worker involved.

Reports indicate that the police have registered a formal complaint under relevant sections of the law. Officials stated that a thorough investigation is underway to uncover the facts surrounding the allegations.

While authorities frequently emphasize the importance of monitoring medical practices, this incident has raised serious questions regarding ethics in healthcare services. The investigation will focus on determining the extent of the involvement of those accused.

Police are also examining whether this incident is part of a larger network engaged in illegal activities. The roles of both the doctor and the ASHA worker will be scrutinized as part of the ongoing inquiry.

Based on the victim's statement, law enforcement has begun collecting evidence. There is considerable public outrage in the area, with residents demanding strict action against those responsible for the incident.
