The relatives of a 25-year-old woman protested on January 24 after her baby boy died soon after birth, officials said.




The management of Civil Hospital has constituted a three-member team to probe the matter, even as the relatives filed a police complaint against the hospital staffers alleging negligence. The woman, a resident of Mandi village, was brought to Civil hospital on January 23 night for delivery. She gave birth to a boy at around midnight, who died sometime after.

The mother's health also deteriorated after the operation and she was referred to the PGI in Rohtak for treatment. When the relatives of the woman and her husband got to know of the newborn's death, they started protesting at the hospital. Soon, the Civil Lines Police Station was alerted and officials reached the spot.

The husband's brother and the woman's mother have blamed the doctors for negligence during the delivery and claimed that they had initially suggested a normal delivery but went for a caesarian. They have filed a complaint with the police, who are probing the matter, said Civil Lines Police Station SHO Virendra Kharab. A complaint has also been filed against the civil surgeon and his deputy Amit Khatri.
