The teenaged-son of a doctor couple who had performed a caesarean section in March last at a hospital run by his parents, on Thursday moved the Madurai bench of Madras High Court for anticipatory bail, apprehending arrest.

The incident came to light at last month's meeting of Manapparai unit of the Indian Medical Association, where Murugesan, a surgeon, and Gandhimathy, a gynaecologist, are said to have screened the video of their son performing the surgery.

Dr Murugesan is now claiming that he performed the surgery while his son watched.
