Overview

  • The district administration sealed Goldar Hospital and shifted all admitted patients to the District Women’s Hospital, according to the DM’s post on X.
  • Officials opened a formal inquiry into the case, and ADM A. K. Rastogi visited Srijan Hospital to review the mother’s treatment and issue directions.
  • DM Durga Shakti Nagpal said she would bear the woman’s medical costs, and authorities reported the mother’s condition is improving.
  • Vipin Gupta alleged the private hospital kept raising charges, demanded payment before treatment, and expelled his wife during labour.
  • The family says a second hospital told them the foetus had died due to incorrect medication allegedly given at the first facility, as a widely shared video of Gupta carrying the newborn to the DM office drew public and political criticism.
