During this time, the baby was left unattended in the washroom. Upon returning, the family discovered the newborn missing and later spotted a stray dog carrying the baby away. Despite efforts to retrieve the child, they were unsuccessful. The family accused hospital staff of negligence, claiming that no one responded promptly to their repeated calls for help. Witnesses also confirmed the presence of stray dogs roaming the hospital premises even after the incident. Hospital authorities initiated an inquiry into the matter.
Deputy CMOH of Bishnupur Health District, Minakshi Maity, stated that preliminary investigations revealed discrepancies in the family’s claims, including questions about the pregnancy’s gestational age. She also alleged that a photo provided by the family as evidence was “fabricated.” However, Priya maintained that she was six months pregnant and rejected the accusations of incorrect medical records by local health workers. The incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for stricter measures to prevent such tragedies and ensure accountability.
