However, Sen was at his wit's end when he got the report of the test done on March 10.

"I got the USG done from the Barasat Cancer Research and Welfare Centre (Hospital). They gave me a wrong report. They send me the USG report of a female. The report referred to the presence of uterus and ovary," said an exasperated Sen.

The hospital admitted its mistake, saying it was a "typing error".

He said the hospital would do a repeat test, free of cost.
