She refused to prove her gender, but now a court has ordered health officials to carry out a sex test after remanding her in custody.The magistrate said the jailer and investigating officer will decide in which ward (male or female) Pramanik will be kept.
The woman alleged Pramanik had confessed that the Indian medical board was bribed to hide the fact she was a man and she was forced to quit the sport as there were chances of getting caught.
