A woman and her newborn baby died during a cesarean surgery in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur on Saturday. The woman's husband has alleged that the surgery was performed without his consent. The 35-year-old woman, Yashoda, was taken to a private hospital in the city after she experienced labour pain. The woman's husband Santram alleged that the doctors sent him to get blood and operated upon her in the meanwhile, PTI reported quoting a police official.
Santram alleged that the mother and baby died during the surgery but the doctors did not inform him and referred her to another hospital, saying her condition was serious. The family has alleged that when an ambulance was called and they tried to make the woman and the child sit, they realised that they were lifeless, Baldirai Police Station SHO Dheeraj Kumar said.
The family members created a ruckus at the hospital during which the hospital owner and the doctor ran away. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem and legal action has been initiated in the matter, the police officer said.
