Newborn of Dalit woman dies in nursing home: Husband beaten by owner after complaining, Raunahi police informed
A case of a newborn dying in the womb of a Dalit woman has come to light at Sahu Medical Center in the Raunahi police station area of Ayodhya. It is alleged that the incident occurred due to the negligence of the medical center’s staff doctor. The woman’s husband, who went to complain, was allegedly beaten by the center’s owner.
The victim, Sarita Devi, a resident of Rudauli in the Baba Bazar police station area, was taken to Sahu Medical Center on the night of December 19 after experiencing labor pains. Her husband, Vivek Kumar Chauhan, said that despite being unsuccessful in delivering the baby for approximately 11 hours, they were not allowed to take her to another hospital.
According to Vivek Kumar, due to the negligence of the nurse and doctor on duty during this time, the newborn died in the womb. Despite the mother’s deteriorating condition, she was hastily discharged from the nursing home and sent home.
When Sarita Devi’s condition did not improve even after four days, Vivek Kumar complained to the owner, Vipin Sahu. Vivek alleges that instead of listening to his complaint, Vipin Sahu beat him with slaps and punches and hurled casteist abuses at him.
Vivek Kumar informed the police control room about the incident, after which the police arrived at the spot and rescued him. The victim’s husband has appealed to the Raunahi police and Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Sunil Baliyan for justice. CMO Ayodhya, Dr. Baliyan, said that he has received information from the victim over the phone and that an investigation will be conducted and necessary action will be taken upon receiving a written complaint.
