        Hi everyone,

        I came across something odd and wanted to get advice before taking any action.

        I was browsing a temporary email inbox and noticed an email request that appeared to be about prenatal gender testing. The request seemed to be coming from Mysore (India) and was directed to a lab in the UK.

        As far as I understand, determining or disclosing a baby’s sex is illegal in India under the PCPNDT Act. This made me wonder if this could be someone trying to bypass the law by contacting a foreign lab.

        I don’t know the full context, and I might be misinterpreting what I saw, so I don’t want to make accusations. But it did feel concerning.

        My questions:

        – Is this something that actually happens (using foreign labs for gender testing)?

        – Would this be considered illegal from the India side?

        – Is there any point in reporting something like this, especially if the lab is overseas?

        – If reporting is appropriate, where should it be done?

        I don’t have personal involvement—just happened to see it and wasn’t sure what the right thing to do is.

        Appreciate any guidance.
