AGRA: Aligarh police has booked the chief medical superintendent (CMS) and her staff of the government's district women's hospital on charges of "kidnapping" a newborn boy after a couple lodged a complaint claiming that the hospital staff handed them just one child while the woman was carrying “twins”.According to complainant Satendra Kumar, his wife Sangeeta was under treatment at Aligarh’s Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyay Joint Hospital during her pregnancy.
He claimed that during the course of treatment, three ultrasounds were conducted, in February, March, and May this year by the hospital staff, and according to the report, his wife was carrying “twins”.
The complainant further said that his wife had delivered “twins” on June 9, at the district women’s hospital, but only a baby boy was given to the family members. He alleged that the doctors and nurses, who were on duty that day had "stolen" his second child.
However, Aligarh senior superintendent of police Akash Kulhary told TOI that a doctors’ panel formed by the chief medical officer re-examined the radiologist’s report and found it to be “erroneous”. “Police investigation is still on though,” he said.
Chief medical officer Dr ML Agarwal said that the medical panel concluded that no evidence was found to support the complainant’s claim of his wife giving birth to “twins”. Agarwal said that the hospital’s radiologist had admitted his mistake of wrongly mentioning “twins” in the report and action will be taken against him.
Aruna Rai, SHO of Banna Devi police station in Tappal, told TOI that the CMS, an unidentified doctor and a nurse had been booked under sections 363 (kidnapping), and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC.
When contacted, the visibly upset CMS said, “An FIR should have been lodged only after the panel’s decision.”
