Summary
- A 25-year-old woman died after childbirth at a private clinic.
- Family alleges medical negligence and protested, blocking a road.
- The clinic was sealed by authorities following the incident.
A 25-year-old woman has died following childbirth at a private clinic in Supaul district, an event that occurred on Saturday. The deceased, identified as Chandni Kumari, delivered a healthy baby boy around 6 a.m. Her family claims that her condition deteriorated after being diagnosed with anemia and receiving blood transfusions, leading to her transfer to a trauma center where she passed away.
Distraught family members accused the clinic of medical negligence and staged a protest by blocking the Supaul-Singheshwar road with Kumari's body for approximately four hours. This blockade caused significant traffic disruption. The family demanded the district magistrate's presence at the site. Following the incident, clinic staff reportedly vacated the premises.
In response to the public outcry and the escalating situation, local authorities intervened. Six other patients who were admitted to the private clinic were transferred to Sadar Hospital via ambulance. The administration subsequently took the step of sealing the private clinic. Officials, including DSP Rajiv Ranjan and SHO Ramsevak Rawat, reached the protest site and assured the family that their complaint would be thoroughly investigated.
The road blockade was eventually lifted around 2 p.m. after the officials provided assurances. The SHO confirmed that the family had submitted a written complaint, and a formal investigation into the allegations of medical negligence would commence.
