• Shama Parveen says a female doctor at Jaunpur District Women Hospital declined to conduct her delivery, allegedly stating, "I will not treat Muslim."
• The late-night September 30 incident drew wide attention after a video recorded inside the hospital went viral and was reposted by AAP MP Sanjay Singh.
• Chief Medical Superintendent Mahendra Gupta said he has sought written explanations from the doctor and staff and that action will follow if the claims are substantiated.
• Gupta also noted that several Muslim patients delivered at the facility that day, while opposition leaders demanded a probe and, in one case, an FIR.
• Reporters said hospital and CMO offices did not answer calls, and a senior official accused media personnel of breaching patient privacy in the labour room.
