The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Thursday suggested the police to lodge an FIR against Safdarjung Hospital. The hospital allegedly twisted a case of delivery of a 19-year-old woman, handed her only one of her babies instead of her delivering twins.
The incident happened last year on December 22nd. The woman had filed a complaint along with the DCW after her delivery at Safdarjung Hospital. At the time of lodging her complaint, the woman had submitted her ultrasound report, conducted at a polyclinic centre, which clearly stated that she carried twin fetuses.
According to DCW officials, the Commission conducted an inquiry into the matter and sought replies from Safdarjung Hospital, the polyclinic centre and the police station concerned. Dr A K Rai, medical superintendent at the hospital, clearly denying the scene, had earlier said, “False allegations have been leveled against the hospital.”
