However, hospital authorities claimed that the child was already dead in womb. On-duty doctor Sachin Kumar, “We had done an ultrasound earlier, and it was clear that the baby was already dead. When she went to use the washroom, the water broke, and due to urgency, we had to deliver the baby there itself.”
