Gujarat bachelor lured for booze worth ₹100 and farm job, sterilized

Govind Dantani, a 30-year-old bachelor from Navi Shedhavi village in Mehsana district, found himself sterilized after being tempted with a promise of ₹100 worth of alcohol. A multipurpose health worker lured Govind under the pretext of offering farm work, but instead drove him to Adalaj Government Hospital near Ahmedabad, where the sterilization was promptly performed.

Dantani—who is set to marry next month—alleged that he was sterilized by health department officials without his knowledge. In a complaint to former village sarpanch Prahlad Thakor, he revealed shocking details about the incident.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS

A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?
