Health officials in India are investigating reports that top Bollywood star :
Shah Rukh Khan knows he and his wife are expecting a baby boy.
Re: Sex tests before birth are illegal ! - ketchim - 06-18-2013
Maharashtra state health minister Suresh Shetty said he had instructed his officials
to conduct the inquiry.
An Indian medical association had written to the ministry, calling for the investigation.

Khan and his wife have said nothing about the reports

India's ban on sex tests is part of attempts to reduce female foeticide
which distorts the country's gender balance
because of the general cultural preference for boys....

Bare nonsense. They are also saying that they are having their child via surrogacy, which apparently is also illegal.

No. Surrogacy is not illegal in India.
Actually Gujarat has emerged as the favorite surrogacy destination for many childless foreign couples.
