As per the reports from the sources, the woman reached with her family members and relatives at 10:30 to the private hospital and negligence began right from the start. For the longest of time, there was no staff to assist the lady and after two hours, 16 injections were given to the pregnant woman. When even after the injections given the pain did not decrease the woman was taken for delivery. The relatives say that they were in touch with Dr Vandana Tiwari for all the nine months of the term and when the family demanded the same medic, Dr Tiwari, to be called during delivery, the nurses began to slap the woman saying "Why did you eat so much that your baby now weighs 4.5 kgs?" However, after the delivery, the nurses told the father of the child that even though the heartbeats of the infant could be registered, the child itself wasn't responding.

The family soon took the child to a different hospital where Dr Zafar Pathan said that the reason behind the death of the child is a delay in the delivery and negligence from the caretakers in the previous hospital. Even though the infant was kept under observation on a ventilator, it couldn't survive and died on Friday.
