In the case of revealing the sex of a fetus in the womb in violation of regulations, YouTuber Irfan has been questioned again by the Public Health Department. This action has been taken following a High Court order.
About two years ago, Irfan took his pregnant wife to Dubai, underwent a medical examination, and learned the sex of the fetus in the womb. He announced this by releasing it as a video on his YouTube channel. As this drew widespread criticism, a notice seeking an explanation was sent to Irfan on behalf of the Director of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMS).
In connection with this, health department officials also questioned him. Following this, Irfan expressed regret for his actions and submitted an apology letter. He also assured that he would not commit such mistakes in the future.
Accepting this, the then Minister for Public Welfare, Ma. Subramanian, had stated that no action was necessary against Irfan.
In response, advocate Jagannath from Tiruvannamalai filed a case in the Chennai High Court. He also raised the question of what action the Health Department had taken against Irfan. After hearing the case, the judges ordered the Public Health Department to take action on the matter within 8 weeks.
Following that, summons were recently sent to both Irfan and Jagannath on behalf of the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services. Subsequently, both of them appeared in person a few days ago at the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services in Teynampet, Chennai, and explained the matter to the officials.
Accordingly, the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services is set to submit the relevant explanation and details of the action taken to the court by Aug. 15.
