> A YouTuber in India is in trouble with the law after announcing the gender of the baby his wife is carrying, Makkal Osai reported.
The man, identified only as Irfan, had found out that his wife was expecting a girl after an ultrasound procedure when on a trip to Dubai.
He relayed the news to his family and later uploaded a video of his announcement on YouTube.
