Her sister-in-law Anshu Bairwa, who went with the pregnant woman to the hospital, has accused her of having a meat party on the roof of the hospital building at night. Anshu Bairwa says that on Monday, Devrani Reso Devi was taken to the government hospital in Karanpur due to labor pain. She herself also went along. She says that when Reso’s labor pain increased late in the evening, in a panic, the hospital staff reached the roof of the hospital, where the party was going on.
Anshu Bairwa said that when he told the problem to the medical staff on the terrace, they sent a compounder named Nathu Singh down. Nathu Singh got the delivery done. After that went back to the terrace at the party. He did not even give the necessary medicine to the pregnant woman. After some time, the health of the pregnant woman started deteriorating.

Tampering with government records?
Local journalist Mukesh Gupta told The Mooknayak that the arbitrariness of the medical staff of Karanpur did not stop there. After the death of the woman, the next day on Tuesday, May 30, for the rescue, the medical staff cut off the name of another patient from the patient recruitment register and entered the name of the deceased Reso Bairwa at number 86 on May 29 itself. . Gupta says that first he was negligent, then to save himself, he doctored the government documents to show the patient was admitted in the back date. Whereas according to the rules, the maternity had to be admitted as soon as she arrived, but due to being busy in the party, the untrained compounder got the delivery done without recruitment. As a result, the pregnant woman lost her life. Journalist Mukesh Gupta said that punitive action is necessary against those who are negligent. So that no one else has to lose their life like Reso Devi.
