Reports state the woman is a resident of Noida's Goud City. She was admitted to a private hospital for her delivery on August 14. During the operation, she remained unconscious and experienced terrible pain in her chest when she woke up.

The doctor then started another treatment on her. She was discharged on August 17, since there was no specialist in the hospital.
She went on to another hospital in Delhi to begin treatment for the burns. The doctors in the other hospital told she was being administered with wrong treatment and medication, in absence of any specialist. Her medical examination was done on the spot.
