“It is the fault of the doctors. First they removed the body
of my baby leaving the head inside and then they told us to take my wife to
another hospital. They just left us. Eventually a local nursing home took my
baby’s head out of my wife but she died. They could not save her.”
The District Magistrate of Shahjahanpur, Shubhra Saxena,
said: “It is a severe case of negligence and we are investigating the matter.”
