Chandigarh: In its drive against illegal sex determination tests, Haryana health department on Saturday conducted raids and got two doctors arrested from Mahendargarh and Bhiwani districts as they were allegedly found involved in the malpractice.
The state is infamous for its poor sex ratio.

The raid was carried out jointly by the health department and the Food and Drug Administration.
