According to a report in The Times of India, husband of the deceased alleged that the woman, who died in the operation theatre, was referred to Hamidia Hospital on the pretext that 'she was still alive’.
According to reports, to avoid action, the doctor did not pronounce the woman dead and asked the relatives to call for an ambulance. The 27-year-old woman died minutes after she reached the operation theatre for sterilization.

According to reports, Muskaan, wife of Prakash, a resident of Barkheda, had reached JP Hospital on Saturday for sterilization under family planning scheme of the government. After all the investigations, the woman was taken to the operation theatre, after some time the woman's body started getting cold.
The testimony of three other doctors who did not find the woman's pulse or heartbeat, will be ascertained by the government investigation.
Family of the deceased alleged that the doctor at JP Hospital told them that Muskan's pulse had returned, and they should take her to Hamidia Hospital soon. On the pretext of helping the family, the doctor called 108 ambulance from the mobile of her associate nurse and distanced herself from the matter by 'referring' the dead body, it is alleged.
